[Dovecot] Postfix issue but I want to fix it here...
Hello, Dovecot bunch and Timo. I am using Sylpheed as my Dovecot/IMAP client. At home behind my LAN Sylpheed can send email because the Postfix SMTPd views my LAN as a trusted network. No such luck when I'm away from home. I know it has something to do with configuring the relay access elements but what I have tried so far does not work. I'm sure someone has had this simple issue previously. The error condition and other particulars follow: OS: CentOS, Windows XP SMTPd: Postfix 2.3.3 IMAP: Dovecot 1.2 Mail client: Sylpheed 2.7.1 Error condition: Error occurred while sending the message: 554 5.7.1 <messages-noreply at linkedin.com>: Relay access denied

This is not a dovecot issue. Assuming your postfix server is properly confirgured to allow sasl_auth, just modify Sylpheed to use smtp_auth (probably should change the port to 587 too) and enter your username/password. Otherwise, you'll need to pursue this on the postfix list. -- Best regards, Charles
Not too lazy. At least here I got an answer. On Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:15:45 -0600 (CST) david at davidwbrown.name wrote:> Hello, Dovecot bunch and Timo. I am using Sylpheed as my Dovecot/IMAP client.
