Its just outlook configuration, check if in :
Tools
->Accounts
->Properties
->Servers the "MY SERVER REQUIRES AUTHENTIFICATIONS" box is marked.

i think i got mine working.

I needed to use password authentication.
I also set the server name as JUST the domain name (i.e. domain.com, NOT mail.domain.com or smtp.domain.com)

This seems to work. Now I just need to figure out my FTP prob.

SMTP Auth is important but the hostname should be the same (if it's the same machine...) - it doesn't care (as long as you don't use ssl etc) but it's more simple with speaking names... :-)

You also can try sending on Port 587 (also with SMTP auth enabled) which is encouraged by some providers...

Hey guys I am also struggling with this issue.

I can send mail via webmail and everything but NOt from out look. and I have tried ALL the settings.

My main.cf looks fine and everything joximu has suggested for main.cf is right!!

PLEASE HELP!

My Mail log gives this error

Jan 29 08:41:11 wor001 postfix/smtpd[17387]: connect from unknown[**.**.**.**]
Jan 29 08:41:11 wor001 postfix/smtpd[17387]: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory

Been fiddeling and checking and this error also shows if I take the Authenticate option out.. seems to be a dns issue.

could you have a look at the master.cf?


ist there a smtp.conf file somewhere on the system? (or maybe smtpd.conf)

Yeah its here

/etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf and looks like this:

pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain login
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain login

[joximu]

ok, rename this file.
we often have problems when the file exists (postfix has its own routines for saslauth there is no need for an external daemon).
Restart postfix and test...
if ok, you can delete the smtpd.conf... :-)

But also look in the /etc/postfix/master.cf about the "fatal" line in the logfile...
