Can't send IMAP email but internal client works

v3
#1

Hello,

I’ve setup email successfully and can send external emails via roundcube, but I’m having trouble sending any IMAP email. See the following error:

Server error: '554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied'

I always get this back when sending emails and I can’t figure it out. Perhaps I missed a step when setting up the email initially, but I don’t believe so. Firewall info is below.

#2

Figured it out.

In… /etc/postfix/main.cf

Had to change

smtpd_relay_restrictions

to

smtpd_recipient_restrictions

Anyone know if this will have any adverse effects? I found another post on here where someone upgraded to postfix 2.11 and they were able to use the relay command. Not sure if it is worth it to bother though?
