If you configure auth credentials everything works fine.

History

#1 Updated by Nicola Rauso over 6 years ago

The workaround is change the value of "SmartHostAuthStatus" prop in "Postfix" db:

config setprop postfix SmartHostAuthStatus disabled
signal-event nethserver-mail-server-save

You could be able to change that value from web interface.
