I have been trying to solve this problem for 2 days now I can receive email from everywhere internal and external.... I can send email to my internal network I just can't send email to external networks such as Joe@somecompany.com

My Server is Linux based using Debian (stretch) on raspberry pi using the Postfix & Dovecot

my isp blocks port 25 incoming and outgoing so I am using

store/forward (working great)


Outbound SMTP Relay (SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM)

Looks like an authentication issue on outbound relay service. Did you try resetting the password?
