Hi,
I've looked at so many other forum posts regarding this and I have still got nowhere with it. One thing I've noticed is that my postfix config seems a lot more empty than most others. I'm able to send/receive mail from roundcube without problem. I'm able to receive mail in my client (thunderbird), so that's ok. All I'm unable to do is send out emails via my email client. This happens across all the virtual domains hosted on my VPS. I'll post errors / config first and then what I've tried underneath:
maillog error:

Thunderbird setup:
server: mail.domain.co.uk
port: 25
user/pass: same as inbound
auth method: normal password
connection security: If none then thunderbird gives error: The mail server responded: 5.7.1 Relay access denied
If TLS then: The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server timed out.
I've tried just about every thunderbird configuration you could think of and all I ever get is one of the 2 above errors.
What I've tried to do with postfix config: add: mynetworks = 192.168.1.0/24 127.0.0.0/8 add a whole bunch of smtpd_recipient/relay_restrictions: permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated reject_unauth_destination add: relay_domains = $mydestination
Curiously, I haven't removed the smtp_relay_restrictions as they were in the config since I started editing it so I thought they should be there, but looking at my postconf -n they're not there. Why is this?
Anyway, I think that's everything I've done so far. Any help would be so much appreciated! I've been at this for days now :|
Thanks in advance, Dan
Similar problem for me here, luckily, after comparing with a working VM server. The configuration was missing the following information in the Postfix SMTP Mail server Options under "Restrictions on recipient addresses": permit_sasl_authenticated
old options were : permit_mynetworks reject_unauth_destination new options are: permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated reject_unauth_destination
All good after that.
