Default Postfix Authentication Issues
Hi,

I have an Ubuntu 8.10 server with ISPConfig 2 installed with Postfix.
I can log in and receive emails fine. However when it comes to sending everything goes pear shaped! I cannot send emails at all from any account on any client on ISPConfig through Outlook, however webmail works fine. Every time I try and send, the Network Password box comes up. I know the passwords and usernames are correct because they are the same as the incoming mail ones. Emails work fine however when authentication is set as off. However I cannot send to hotmail and other addresses when this is the case!

Help!

Thanks,

phenner

You have to enable smtp authentication in outlook to send email to users that are not on your server.

Till,

Thanks for your reply.

I am well aware that you need SMTP auth on to send email, however whenever it is on, I cannot send to anyone as the login does not work, EVER! The username and password are definitely correct, but even so the network password box comes up every time i try to send.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

phenner

Most likely its a misconfiguration in your sasl setup. Please post the errors from the mail log.

You dont have to remove postfix first. Just redo the configuration steps.
