Troubleshooting Postfix Authentication to Relay
-
This is obviously where we are failing, but why is the question:
host east.exch083.serverdata.net said: 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated (in reply to MAIL FROM command) -
is this a valid from?
from=root@vny-lnx-fle-postfix.localdomain -

from=root@vny-lnx-fle-postfix.localdomainThey claim that valid from is not needed. Supposedly.

I changed the sending domain, now we are getting unknown mailbox.
-
If we try to send to a mailbox outside of the domain, we get authentication errors again.
-
Odd thing with outlook is that you can email to users outside the domain, but a simple test email to yourself fails. so:
to: someone@someotherdomain.com from: me@mydomain.com works, but
to: me@mydomain.com from: me@mydomain.com does not work
to: me@mydomain.com AND someone@someotherdomain.com from: me@mydomain.com - message gets sent outside, but not to me -
@Mike-Davis it's very strange all around.
-
is there some sort of anti-spoofing settings with Intermedia? We use Mimecast here and Mimecast blocks any email from outside with a from address of "ourdomain.com" by default with their Anti-Spoofing policy.

That's probably what is going on. I was working with their support last night and they said they couldn't transfer me to a level 2 tech because I wasn't listed on the account. This tech also told me that they allow anonymous emails on port 25, so I knew I was working with the wrong guy.

Yes, bottom line here is that Intermedia is incompetent. Which has been a question for a long time - why would anyone use Intermedia when Office 365 does the same stuff for lower cost but has Microsoft themselves backing it?
