Virtualmin postfix how to disable authentication to send outgoing mail on local network

Virtualmin
1

It is a new setup virtualmin server and incoming & outgoing mail are all working fine. However, the PC on local netowrk (same subnet with virtualmin) need authentication on smtp. How can I disable on local network smtp authentication?

Thanks in advanced.

Add your local network to mynetworks. I don’t see any reason you’d need anything else (as far as I know the permit_mynetworks in smtpd_recipient_restrictions should allow sending from mynetworks).

However, it still needs to authentication on email client in same network.

I really don’t know why I can’t send outgoing mail. I just get bounce back about “Server error: ‘454 4.7.1 xxx@xxx.com: Relay access denied’”.

Are you absolutely sure your client is actually connecting via the network listed in mynetworks? Is it going through some kind of NAT/MASQ thing before it gets there?

When my outlook client (192.168.0.10) specify local server IP 192.168.0.254 (mail server) on smtp address. It can send email out without authentication. But it cannot send email out when smtp server address is “mail.domain.com” syntax instead of IP 192.168.0.254. Or it can send email out on using domain name syntax on smtp address if enable smtp authentication on outlook client.

Why would you expect it to work on the public address (I assume that name points to your public address)? That can’t possibly work. That connection would not be coming from the 192.168.0.0/24 network, and thus is not allowed to relay without auth.

You can either setup views for DNS, or you can add the name to your hosts file, or you can just use authentication.

Oh, and another option if the public IP of your router is static you could add it to mynetworks.
