I am trying to set up a junk mail filter on the server and when I turn it on people in the office using Outlook v10 on a windows computer can't send out e-mail.
When I turn it off then once again they can send e-mail. Are my settings correct? Thank you for any help.
Are you using Outlook, or Outlook Express? The Outlook Express package is usually a little easier to get working with non-Microsoft mail servers than is Outlook; that works better with Exchange.
What is in the mail server logs when the Outlook (Express?) client fails to send mail?
If (guessing) it's a broken HELO message from the client, then launch Terminal.app and issue the following two commands:
sudo postconf -e "smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated
permit_mynetworks reject_invalid_helo_hostname reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname"
sudo postfix reload
This sequence is a variation of what's listed in the TS3023 article, and this avoids directly editing the configuration files, and this sequence also avoids (entirely) removing the HELO checks; the sequence shown above disables the HELO check (only) for verified clients.
After running this command no one in the office can send mail.
Here is the error in the log.
Sorry that last post was un-readable.
Here is the error I am getting.

The error message indicates that "permit_sals_authenticated" is a problem, and the matching part of text in what I'd shown was "permit_sasl_authenticated". It looks like there was a typo made when the command was input onto the target system, in other words.
When I turn on the junk mail filter on my OSX server Outlook 10 can't send mail.
