Postfix relay denied.


I am running Postfix 2.6.1 on Suse 11.2, and am receiving an error message on my windows machine saying "Recipient address rejected: Relay access denied." If I login to my email on the local machine or via squirrelmail I have no problem sending mail. The output of postconf -n is as follows:


server:~ # postconf -n
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases

transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
virtual_alias_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

I only wish to permit relay from my domain names only.

Thanks,

Brandon

In postfix, the 'mynetworks' parameter defines your networks which will be allowed to relay mail through the server, try :

Code:
postconf -e "mynetworks = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24, 127.0.0.0/8"
service postfix reload
Replace the xxx's with your lan subnet and correct the subnet mask and you should be good to go

cheers
