Greetings, can anyone help a newbie troubleshooting email server configuration?
Been researching for days but the lack of know-how makes it hard to interpret probable causes and solutions...
I get "Relay access denied" when sending to external emails.
The log:
Oct 23 00:20:05 server postfix/smtpd[10382]: connect from xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.cpe.netcabo.pt[xxx.
xxx.xxx.xxx]
Oct 23 00:20:05 server postfix/smtpd[10382]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.cpe.netcabo.pt[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: 554 5.7.1 <my@gmail.com>: Relay access denied; from=<my@server.com> to=<my@gmail.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<[192.168.0.13]>
Oct 23 00:20:14 server postfix/smtpd[10382]: disconnect from xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.cpe.netcabo.pt[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]

Howdy,
A common cause of what you're describing is when the email client isn't configured to authenticate when sending outgoing email, which several clients don't do by default.
My suggestion is to review the mail client settings, and verify that it's configured to authenticate when sending email.
