      Hello everyone,
      I have a little problem on my network. i have a simple network with a Lan behind a pfsense router (1.2.2). I access the Internet through a modem. pfsense is configured to use this modem as a gateway.
      LAN –--  Pfsense ------- WAN

      I can receive mails but for some reason i can't seem to be able to send mail. I have an error whether i use thunderbird or outlook. It says recipient adress rejected: missing authentication. However if i connect directly on the modem it works with the exact same configuration.

      Something must be blocked by pfsense, but i see nothing in the logs. Also smtp is authorised on pfsense.
      What could be the problem?

        Ok, i finally found the problem.
        There was no problem with the firewall, it was a problem of DNS.
