Postfix/Outlook Express problem

I have configured mail server (postfix/courier-imap) and everything works except sending mails using Outlook Express.

This is the log:

How do you have the client setup for sending emails? From the logs, that would indicate the most likely cause with the authentication method used, etc.

You can probably get away without choosing authentication in the client for sending by permitting your own network under mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 in your conf file as well.

Well, I can send mail via squirrelmail with this configuration.
After modifications:

Quote:

mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, localhost, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain, mail.@mydomain

nothing changes. I still cannot send mails via mail client. This is IMAP server btw.

Any ideas?

Well, you never stated what you're trying to use for your OE settings for sending? Squirrelmail will work since it's IMAP and it's on the localhost, since you have 127.0.0.0/8 configured for your mynetworks.

If your clients are on a local LAN configured like 192.168.x.x you can add that to your conf file like the 127.

Just add something like 192.168.0.0/16 so everyone configured on the local LAN with such IP can use the mail server to send emails through.

So webmail works.
But I want to connect to my IMAP server from any location thru mail clients like OE/Thunderbird and send mails. From what I see in logs, Client connects to the server but while trying to send mail, server denies it with the message displayed in first post in this thread.
And now, how to fix my server configuration to able external mail clients to send mails? :)

UPDATE.
Actually, now I can send mail thru OE but only to local maildirs (located at same server as postfix is run).
For example my mail is spokz@mydomain.org and I'm connected to IMAP mydomain.org server thru Outlook Express. I can send mail to test@mydomain.org but server denies to send mail to test@gmail.com.
