mail sent from postfix from unauthorised accounts.

[pawan]

The mails bounces in mail boxes.

when I see the view source the return path is shown is server1.myserver.com
and mail sent from
1F4B6E3@mydomain.com
but "1F4B6E3@" is not a mail box on website created by me.

how can mail such as this can be sent from the server.
The contents of my postfix main.cf are as below:

[till]

how can mail such as this can be sent from the server.

Vulnerarble scripts or cms systems in one of your websites.

Thanks Till,
I will look in to it.
At the same time, I am trying to use port 25 to receive mails from other mail servers and block it for sending mails outside mynetwork and open submission port on 587.

But I am not able to connect on port 587 from email client. My settings in postfix are given below.

I have edited main.cf same as above except the below line

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination

and my master.cf

Well I have kind of solved everything like
if I sent mail to outside recipient using thunder-bird or MS outlook the mail is not going through,
however if I am sending mail using roundcube, which also connects on port 25, the mail is going through even to outside recipient.(can't make out the logic for this)

in my master.cf my setting are like

smtp      inet  n       -       -       -       -       smtpd
#smtp      inet  n       -       -       -       1       postscreen
#smtpd     pass  -       -       -       -       -       smtpd
#dnsblog   unix  -       -       -       -       0       dnsblog
#tlsproxy  unix  -       -       -       -       0       tlsproxy
submission inet  n       -       -       -       -       smtpd
  -o syslog_name=postfix/submission
  -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
  -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
  -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject

and setting for my main.cf are like:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination

Do I need any further changes, to work it so that on port 25 the mails cannot sent outside of my network.

Also enforce a authentication for local delivery as well.
