Relay from POP3 account
 

Hi

I'm running RH9 and a Postfix installation. Postfix runs local mail fine both to internal and external users. From an external account (say my-mail@hotmail.com) it i possible to make a reply direct to a local users (obviously).

My problem is when I'm connecting from an external POP3 reader. I'm able to read my local mail and able to send to local users (specifying username@domain.tld) but when replying to a mail received from an external domain or sending to external users, I get the 554 message.


My maillog :
ipop3d[8155]: pop3 service init from <EXT-IPADDR>
ipop3d[8155]: Login user=jeo host=[<EXT-IPADDR>] nmsgs=0/0
ipop3d[8155]: Logout user=jeo host=[<EXT-IPADDR>] nmsgs=0 ndele=0

postfix/smtpd[8156]: connect from unknown[<EXT-IPADDR>]
postfix/smtpd[8156]: 55A79235B3: client=unknown[<EXT-IPADDR>]

postfix/smtpd[8156]: reject: RCPT from unknown[<EXT-IPADDR>]: 554 <recipient@ext-domain.tld>: Recipient address rejected: Relay access denied; from=<jeo@my-domain.tld> to=<recipient@ext-domain.tld>

ipop3d[8158]: Login user=jeo host=
[<EXT-IPADDR>] nmsgs=0/0

Postconf -n:

Hope someone can help!!

You may have run afoul of some ISP's anti spam campaign. Some ISPs will only accept email from an account on the originating ISP. In other words if your ISP is abc.com then myaccount@abc.com is an acceptable originating address but myotheraccount@xyz.com is rejected.

You can check whether this is your problem by sending from myotheraccount@xyz.com to various addresses and see if some will accept them and others will not.
