I've been trying to set up a mail server with postfix. Sending/receiving local mail and receiving external mail works. However, sending external mail does not work.
When I start sending a message through telnet example.com 25 I get the following message after typing rcpt to: [email protected]:
454 4.7.1 < [email protected]>: Relay access denied
Some information that might be helpful:
