Is the network port of IMAP/POP3 service correct in Thunderbird?
Is your IP address blocked in iptables firewall?

Hello!
Thanks for answering my post.
It is correct, I can send / receive messages with thunderbird using a private address. It is very strange when I use the normal configuration, as always with mail.myserver.com,
I can not send messages on the local area network with mail.myserver.com, but I can do it from outside. On the other hand, from the local network I can use the configuration with the private ip of my server 192.168.x.x
From one day to the next it stopped working ..

It's so strange, there's no ip blocking in the firewall, no additional configurations ...
One of the error: SMTP Error: 535 5.7.8 Authentication credentials invalid
