Hi Nick,

Thanks for the reply. That link is bad but I have gone to the correct one. What it is saying is that the from address is not locally known so it will bounce the mail. That is really a symptom caused by the MAIL FROM not being sent. Since there is no from address, it cannot verify it and thus puts out that 553. When I look at the complete exchange between servers, there is indeed no indication that a MAIL FROM command was sent and that is the crux of the problem. I have a generic maps set up but it is apparently not used because of this problem. Why is it not sending MAIL FROM as a matter of course and more importantly, what can I do to force it? If I solve that the 553 will take care of itself.

The article they link to doesn't exist anymore, but I'm wondering if you need to be using a certain from address, or possibly a certain from domain ( ie; http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_sender_login_maps)...

That's what the first line suggests to me..

My ISP has recently changed my mail server so that I am forced to use authentication. I am using SASL with a hash file. That all seems to be working. However, I am unable to send mail because for some reason postfix is not sending a MAIL FROM command. The relevant sequence of messages I get from my ISP's server is:

Feb 2 08:50:06 dap002 postfix/smtp[13796]: 06B8D1803: to=<deput...@cisco.com>, relay=smtp.att.yahoo.com[98.138.31.74]:25, delay=0.62, delays=0.02/0.05/0.46/0.09, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host smtp.att.yahoo.com[98.138.31.74] said: 553 From address not verified - see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) Feb 2 08:50:06 dap002 postfix/smtp[13796]: < smtp.att.yahoo.com[98.138.31.74]:25: 503 Wrong sequence of commands : MAIL FROM needed Feb 2 08:50:06 dap002 postfix/smtp[13796]: < smtp.att.yahoo.com[98.138.31.74]:25: 503 Wrong sequence of commands : MAIL FROM needed Feb 2 08:50:06 dap002 postfix/smtp[13796]: > smtp.att.yahoo.com[98.138.31.74]:25: RSET Feb 2 08:50:06 dap002 postfix/smtp[13796]: > smtp.att.yahoo.com[98.138.31.74]:25: QUIT Feb 2 08:50:06 dap002 postfix/smtp[13796]: < smtp.att.yahoo.com[98.138.31.74]:25: 250 flushed

I thought a MAIL FROM was always sent. Is there a configuration parameter I am missing that is needed when using SMTP authentication?

TIA.
