This topic is about how to allow remote users to send email trough Internet (outside your network) and trough Artica server using MS outlook.
First, understand that Outlook did not use the same Thunderbird behavior.
This means with thunderbird, it is easy to enable SASL Authentication and set username and password in the SMTP oubound settings.
But in outlook it is not the same.
If you want Authentication runing on Oulook with Postfix/artica, you need to enable SSL ! It is Mandatory !
It seems that Outlook didn't want to send authentication using SASL when the target SMTP is not encrypte, that the reason that SASL parameter without SSL did not workingin standard mode.
Enabling Authentication SASL and SSL on Artica
- On the left menu, go to Messaging, Index section.
- Click on security tab.
