Hi
I have configured the postix email server in Centos. Its working fine with Squirrel mail client. But If I configured in microsoft Outlook. it is working. with this post I have attached the error message. Please let me know solution.

I am getting this error message while I check the SMTP authentication in outgoing server tab on outlook account setting configuration.
If I send any email It will bounce and came to to inbox.

Thanks
Mohamed

Getting outlook to work with Postfix can be a little tricky. I assume here that you are using some form of SASL authentication. Postfix supports SASL through a third party library, either Dovecot or Cyrus. When using SASL, the only authentication mechanism that Postfix supports is PLAIN. Obviously you don't want to submit this over an standard TCP connection, so it is best if you use something like TLS. Postfix will support TLS and SASL, using the standard port 25, not the higher SMTPS port. When you look at your logs you can verify that this is occurring because you will see ,TLS at the end of the connection.

If the above information does not help to get you working with Outlook, please provide some additional details regarding your configuration. Unfortunately, the only error message provided is vague in typical Microsoft fashion and amounts to that operation didn't work (duh!).
