Hi All;

I am new to postfix.

I am using Fedora and I installed it using yum, also I was able to send email by using the telnet method. I added one user in the linux using adduser command.

But when I tried to use outlook to send email, it failed !

First of all, I feel it is most probably related to the authentication, because actually I am trying from my labtop and I used the username and password that I built using adduser command.

Do I have to install and confiure saslauthd to be able to send email from my outlook at my labtop? Or what could I am missing?

I did the needed configuration at the DNS and the MX record, and I routed it for my mail server, also I added the mail server name in the main.cf file. And I was able to send email using the telnet method as I said.

Any help?
Regards
Bilal

new or not

without log-entries and any usefull information first "postconf -n"
nobody and nowhere can help you, independent of postfix
