Postfix Error


Hello,

When I go to send an email, the server connects and everything comes up like it should, but the message is not sent or received.

Here is the log from a session of sending an email:

Quote:
Mar 30 12:24:21 ns1 postfix/smtpd[3791]: connect from 66-123-123-123.dhcp.ykma.wa.charter.com[66.123.123.123]

I see that there is an error stating "status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused" and I do not know what to do to fix it.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like you have SASL (SMTP authorization) enabled. Check your main.cf file for this:
Quote:
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
If you find it set it to "no". Then restart postfix "postfix reload"
