I am trying to configure Courier to send all my mail through my ISP's
(Bellsouth) mailserver. Too many servers reject direct mail from my
DSL IP. Bellsouth requires authentication, so I need to enable it in
Courier. So far, every attempt ends the same way.
Note that I am masking the email addresses and passwords.
courieresmtpd:
error,relay=::ffff:205.152.59.70,from=<US...@bellsouth.net>,
to=<USER@DOMAIN>: 513 Relaying denied.
I have set up the following configuration.
/etc/courier/esmtpauthclient:
mx00.mail.bellsouth.net US...@bellsouth.net PASSWORD
(This is the same username and password that works just fine from
Outlook or Thunderbird.)
/etc/courier/esmptroutes:
:mx00.mail.bellsouth.net
(I have tried a couple of variations on this, with the same results)
What am I missing? Is there another setting somewhere?
Things to check for:
1. Does the server mx00.mail.bellsouth.net support SMTP
authentication?
2. If it does support authentication, which methods does it support?
You can check this by connecting to it on port 25, and sending and
EHLO command and seeing what is advertised. I tried to connect to it
from here, but it doesn't advertise SMTP AUTH. However, that doesn't
mean it doesn't support it, since it may only be advertising it to
customer networks.
