I try to send mail with Mutt through my own mail server. My mail server run Postfix and Dovecot. I configured it by following this tutorial. I can send / receive email on my server with Gnome Evolution and many other programs. I would like to use Mutt with this configuration :
set realname = "{name}"
set header_cache = ~/.mutt/cache/headers
set certificate_file = ~/.mutt/certificates
set message_cachedir = ~/.mutt/cache/bodies
set spoolfile = imaps://{server address}:993/INBOX
set imap_user = "{address}"
set imap_pass = "{password}"
set imap_passive = no
set smtp_url = "smtp://{server}:587"
set smtp_pass = "{password}"
set from = "{address}"
set use_envelope_from = yes
set ssl_starttls = yes
set ssl_force_tls = yes
I use Mutt on my laptop, as a client of my server, so Mutt is not launched from my server.
The problem is, every time I try to send a mail, I have got this error : SMTP session fail : Relay access denied
The corresponding logs in /var/log/mail.log are :
Jan 7 17:49:58 ns333449 postfix/submission/smtpd[15264]: connect from unknown[{my ip]
Jan 7 17:49:59 ns333449 postfix/submission/smtpd[15264]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[{my ip}]: 554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied; from=<{my address}> to=<{destination address}> proto=ESMTP helo=<{my computer}>
Jan 7 17:49:59 ns333449 postfix/submission/smtpd[15264]: lost connection after RCPT from unknown[{my ip}]
Jan 7 17:49:59 ns333449 postfix/submission/smtpd[15264]: disconnect from unknown[{my ip}]
I can't understand why. In Gnome Evolution, my mail server parameters are :
- IMAP :
- Server : {my server address}
- Port : 993
- User : {my mail address}
- SSL on dedicated port
- Authentication with password
- SMTP :
- Server : {my server address}
- Port : 587
- Server require an authentication
- STARTTLS after connection
- Plain authentication
- User : {my mail address}
I hope I gave you enough information.
EDIT : As suggested by tarleb, I wrote smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 in /etc/postfix/main.cf, this is what I get when I try to send a mail:
Jan 8 11:54:16 ns333449 postfix/submission/smtpd[13158]: connect from unknown[{my ip}]
