TPG SMTP Relay Auth with Postfix linux

Level 2

I setup my own email server using iRedMail with postfix. This worked great when suddenly I was unable to send any messages to gmail and got the following error:

 

Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550-5.7.1 [193.119.80.196] The IP you're using to send
    mail is not authorized to 550-5.7.1 send email directly to our servers.
    Please use the SMTP relay at your 550-5.7.1 service provider instead. Learn
    more at 550 5.7.1  https://support.google.com/mail/?p=NotAuthorizedError
    q26si3068097pgt.294 - gsmtp

 

I did what it said and setup a SMTP relay to TPG by adding the line:

 

relayhost = [mail.tpg.com.au]

 

to /etc/postfix/main.cf

 

Now I it fails and says this:

Hi @OggyP . How did you go with this?

That 193... address is apparently your public ip address. Any chance it changed to coincide with your error? Or might gmail have made a change at their end?

There's a bit more to the relayhost statement.

https://linuxhint.com/configuring_postfix_relayhost/#:~:text=Relay%20host%20is%20defined%20as,know%2....

Relayhost needs a port number but 587 might be the default.

After adding what that website said it just did not send any emails. But also did not return an error. The only that that I added that seemed to help is the port. The error is now:

Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 530 5.7.0 Authentication required

I was looking up online and people said that you do not need any credentials to use the smtp relay. Is this true? If not what credentials do I use?

Hi @OggyP,

 

Thanks for the additional details. You may raise this directly to our postmaster (postmaster@tpg.com.au), we recommend to use our Post Office to send email. Please include the Customer ID/Username and the affected E-mail also the error messages together with a short description of the issue.

 

Regards,
