Nope, not being asked for a password.

That means you are not using smtp authentication

Isn't this setup when I installed Postfix with SMTP-AUTH and TLS? I setup exactly how the tutorial described and have checked the configuration... is there something I have missed? Maybe something not in the walkthrough? This is my postfix/main.cf file...

What i mean is that your client is not using it, your server does support it but you need to configure your client to use that.

The client is sending that information, but, still getting "Relay access denied." error... any thoughts??

[falko]

What email client do you use?

Hi Falko... I have tried from Outlook, Gmail, and Thunderbird... i've tried at home, from the office, and from wifi connections. Get the same error. Here is the error from the maillog.

I am considering that it is a problem with how GoDaddy handles relays... but, I'm not sure... I have the same setup on another server and it works fine (not hosted with GoDaddy). Here is my main.cf file (comments removed):

I see that you're relaying through another server. Did you set up relaying as follows: http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_re...her_mailserver

Tried that... still nothing... GoDaddy support says that a username / password is not needed to relay through the server, it should know that the dedicated server I am on is part of their network and let it through. GoDaddy support isn't much help as I'm not running an approve control panel.

Still the same error...
