relay from non-local domains is not allowed

[martincab]

I get postfix working fine to send mails from a client (ximian) running on the same server (redhat 9), however when i tried to send messages from any pc from same network, i get the message: "relay from non-local domains is not allowed".

i will thank any tip.

Martin.

My current configuration looks like:

#postconf -n
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
debug_peer_level = 6
debug_peer_list = 192.168.20.106
inet_interfaces = all
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
mydestination = $myhostname
myhostname = venus.activos.com.co
mynetworks = 192.168.0.0/24
myorigin = $myhostname
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-1.1.12/README_FILES
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-1.1.12/samples
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop

Hi,
your 'mynetworks' address doesn't match your adapters networks. It should be

mynetworks=192.168.20.0/24

Thanks Henrik, You're right: my_networks parameter was wrong.

Aside from this I had another problem: I was using the mozilla mail client and this allows to configure only one smtp server for all accounts. I have accounts from domains (aaa.com and bbb.com) each one with different mail servers, it was necessary to configure the postfix parameter:
relay_domains = aaa.com, bbb.com
in order to allow send mail from accounts from both domains.

My postfix server is working fine now.

Thanks.
