Relay access denied while sending from external mail clients


I have configured mail server (postfix/courier-imap) and webmail works fine.

But I want to connect to my IMAP server from any location thru mail clients like OE/Thunderbird and send/receive mails. Actually, now I can receive all mail thru OE but sending works 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 server at mydomain.org thru Outlook Express. I can send mail to test@mydomain.org but server denies to send mail to test@gmail.com, hotmail.com etc.

Log output:

When you send mail using an email client you send it from your computer not from your mail-server.
So gmail's mailserver receives a mail with senders domain not equal to the ip it is sent from. This is to prevent spam, you normally use your ISP's mailserver as smtp.
Now I don't know what OE is, maybe it is something that should do the trick I don't really know. Just my 2 cents...

OE = Outlook Express, since I wanted to use my mail server from any locations, also Windows environments Hmm, that's a pity that even with IMAP server I cannot send mail to other hosts than local. Or I can't configure it properly that's why I posted here...
