Postfix smtp send error - what's wrong here?

0

I am currently setting up a new virtual private server with Debian Wheezy. I managed to install postfix, dovecot (IMAP) and MySQL.

Up to now, I can successfully login via SSL with an external mail client like Thunderbird or my Android Mail client and receive mails. Sending however does not work yet as I am getting this error when trying to send:

Nov 13 13:35:30 vmd3299 dovecot: auth-worker(7819): mysql(127.0.0.1): Connected to database mailserver
Nov 13 13:35:30 vmd3299 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<kontakt@mydomain.de>, method=PLAIN, rip=109.44.0.191, lip=91.205.173.36, mpid=7821, TLS, session=<1/JfMw7rqABtLADF>

As far as I can see, the TLS login seems to work, but that's it. I can't send mails to any recipient, neither to external recipients nor to local mail accounts on the same domain.

My exact versions are:

  • Postfix 2.9.6
  • Debian Wheezy (3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

Here's my postfix main.cf:

#myorigin = /etc/mailname

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
biff = no

# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no

# Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
#delay_warning_time = 4h

readme_directory = no

# TLS parameters
smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
smtpd_use_tls=yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, reject

# See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for
# information on enabling SSL in the smtp client.
myhostname = vmd3299.myhoster.net
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = vmd3299.myhoster.net, localhost.myhoster.net, localhost
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all
virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-domains.cf
virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-maps.cf
virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf,mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-email2email.cf
virtual_transport = dovecot
dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1

After hours of googling I reached the point where I don't know what to do now. Can anybody help me with this and maybe walk me through the last steps? I somehow have the feeling that there's just a tiny bit to be done here. Thanks in advance!

Update:

After changing this line:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, reject

to that:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
   permit_mynetworks
   permit_sasl_authenticated
   reject_unauth_destination

I was able to send a test mail to myself, recpipient was the same user that sent the mail. Other existing external recipients are still rejected:

Nov 13 14:19:45 vmd3299 postfix/smtpd[8240]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from ip-109-44-0-191.web.vodafone.de[109.44.0.191]: 554 5.7.1 <ed.external@outside.com>: Relay access denied; from=<kontakt@mydomain.de> to=<eddie.external@outside.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<[10.149.184.191]>

Update:

I resolved this issue by adding these two lines into /etc/postfic/main.cf

smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth

Now everything works fine with TLS and authentication.
