Cannot receive email - 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated

Hi all!

I got a vps from ovh with debian 8, virtualmin 6.06-2, Webmin 1.900, Usermin 1.751.

I got also a domain from ovh, let’s call it mydomain.ovh.

I have copied SPF record from virtualmin to DNS Zone of my ovh account, and I am able to send email from virtualmin (email@mydomain.ovh) to my gmail account.

What I cannot do is to send email from my gmail account to email@mydomain.ovh, the response of server is 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated.
How can i configure postfix/dovecot for enable my vps to receive email?

This is my first experience with a vps and virtualmin, maybe is a noob question :slight_smile:



Thanks in advance

Hey there! I found the solution.
I just forgot to set A record for smtp of vps in ovh dns zone.
However I still cannot receive email, here mail.log
