When sending from my network, I was receiving a warning message: Jul 5 15:57:06 scorpio postfix/smtpd[22724]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Jul 5 15:57:07 scorpio postfix/smtpd[22724]: warning: SASL authentication failure: no user in db
I was advised to put the following in the main.cf file: smtpd_sasl_exceptions_networks = $mynetworks That works fine if I send from the same PC that is hosting Postfix. However, if I send from another PC on the network, I receive a similar waring message: Jul 5 15:57:06 scorpio postfix/smtpd[22724]: connect from boss.seibercom.net[192.168.1.104] Jul 5 15:57:07 scorpio postfix/smtpd[22724]: warning: SASL authentication failure: no user in db So, I added this to the main.cf file: smtpd_sasl_exceptions_networks = $mynetworks, 192.168.1.0/24 Unfortunately, it does not stop the waring message from appearing. I know it is only a harmless warning message; however, I would like to know what I am doing wrong.
