j.smith1981 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I am having real problems sending emails using my ISPs SMTP service. What I am getting back is exactly this: Nov 15 09:56:49 server postfix/smtp[18716]: 844E23A6EBC: to=<myemailuser@gmail.com>, relay=smtp.virgin.net[62.254.26.212]:25, delay=0.27, delays=0.09/0.03/0.14/0.02, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host smtp.virgin.net[62.254.26.212] said: 555 Refused (external Mail From address). Please enable SMTP authentication to send mail. (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) I have tried the following steps: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/postfix-multiple-isp-accounts-smarthost-smtp-client/ But this doesn't work, have replaced the username (email) on the steps with my own ISPs email address (which I won't give out here for obvious reasons) and my current password but still no luck. By doing those steps it just says deffered, can someone help me to overcome this error? I mean surely if I am a registered user on their network I should be able to send emails surely? Any feedbacks greatly appreciated, Jeremy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 If your wanting to use your isp's smtp server, uninstall postfix and install ssmtp. Postfix is overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.smith1981 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 Postfix is used for iRedmail, would rather get this working using what I have for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
