Hi folks,

Evolution can receive mails on remote server but can't send mails via it with same password.

In your /etc/postfix/main.cf, is 220.232.213.178 listed in mynetworks?

Hi skunkbad,


No.

$ grep mynetworks /etc/postfix/main.cf
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject _unauth_destination


Performed following test

adding 220.232.213.178 to mynetworks

mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 220.232.213.178


$ sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart


Started Evolution.

Send mail still failure.


Edit-1:

To my surprise I can send and receive email on SquirrelMail with the same password via remote server.


Edit-2:

After ssh connect the remote server on Xterm, local PC. I can telnet localhost 25 to send a mail to yahoo without problem.


What obstruction makes the user unable to authenticate?
