Subject: Getting 'Relay access denied' from one LAN host but not from
another - why?
I have Postfix 3.4.13 running on my xubuntu 20.04 system.
It's configured to send outgoing E-Mail to my hosting provider's smart
host and to deliver incoming E-Mail to local users (basically just me).
This has been working for several years.
Also configured a while ago and working OK are some local E-Mail
senders such as a backup system on the LAN which send any backup error
messages to me. I have just tested this by sending a test error
message and this works OK, see this bit of mail.log:-

this message is not relayed, but delivered locally.
However E-Mail sent from another system on the LAN (a Draytek 2820n
router) is being rejected with "Relay access denied" and I don't
understand why. Here is the mail.log output:-

I can't understand why one message is delivered while the other is
rejected.
this message is not to be delivered locally, but to relayed.

Shouldn't that permit_mynetworks allow E-Mail from 2820n.zbmc.eu[192.168.1.20]
as it does allow it from pibackup.zbmc.eu[192.168.1.108]? Can anyone
suggest what might be wrong?
only if 192.168.1.20 was in your mynetworks list, and it is not.
