I've been trying to set up a mail server, with dovecot, postfix, opendkim, and spamassassin. After some hassle I managed to get incoming mail working (I signed up for this account with the email!). However, outgoing mail just doesn't work--I tested this by sending from this new email to my old Protonmail account and got an error. Again, it works with incoming mail--sending from that old email to my new one. Sending was tested with Neomutt using msmtp as its mail sending command.

I've got a relayhost that goes to port 587 of my domain. This is because my ISP is fat and blocks port 25 for some reason. Anyways, here's the log messages I get when sending an email:

postfix/submission/smtpd[57255]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[192.168.86.1]: 454 4.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail.doma.in>

why am I getting this error? I've gone through several other questions where this was asked, notably:

None of those helped, though

  • It's a bit unclear what you're doing here. You have created a new domain, and are trying to send mails from that through a mailserver that has a different domain? Commented Jul 10, 2021 at 9:28
  • Yes, I created a domain, set up all the records and stuff, and then set up the mailserver. I'm trying to send mail through Neomutt to my old email (a Protonmail account), and I get this. Works fine when sending from old -> new. Commented Jul 10, 2021 at 19:53

I finally fixed this by adding 192.168.86.0/24 to mynetworks. I've got another problem but I'll open up a new question for that.
