Allowing specific relay

Hello,

I have just got myself a new mobile/cell phone which allows me to manage my
email. I've set it up so that I can pick up my email using either POP3 or
IMAP4 and this works fine.

I'm having trouble sending email. I have entered my postfix mail server
email address as the outgoing mail server but when I send an email I'm
getting a relay error message sent by postfix.

The problem is this:

I try and send an email to foo@bar.com from my phone. My phone connects to
postfix using smtp but gets rejected because the domain of the sender is the
domain name of my mobile phone operator, future-is.orange.net, and not my
own domain.

If I send an email from my phone to one of my own users, i.e. at our domain,
it works fine.

What do I need to do to be able to allow relaying from the
future-is.orange.net domain?

Thanks

If you do that, all the people in that domain can relay mail through your
server, so you're opening yourself to possible abuse.

If you have a static IP, which is unlikely, you could allow that in
$mynetworks. If you haven't, it's probably best to set up SASL
authentication so you can use a login/password to relay mail through your
own server.

You could also see if orange.net makes a smtp server available to send
your e-mail through.
