I only told it to connect to [mail.gmx.es] using port 465, I did not tell it to change anything else.
Then the thing demanded I do:
smtp_tls_security_level = encrypt smtp_sasl_tls_security_options = noanonymous smtp_tls_wrappermode = yes
which I did, then it complained about a library version problem:
As Andrei has explained, you have changed the global settings for the postfix smtp client. These will also be applied internally, e.g. for amavisd.
Why on earth are the changes needed for the external ISP GMX.ES affecting the internal amavis handling?
Well, you changed it globally, so they affect everything.
Otherwise, how on earth do I configure postfix to send to gmx.es using port 465 properly without affecting the rest? Surely people on this continent using the daft Bell network must do something?
Restricting port 25 and asking people to use port 587 for mail submission has been standard ISP practice for years and years. I would suggest you forget about SMTPS and port 465, and instead use port 587 with STARTTLS. I haven't double checked, but I think this ought to be sufficient: smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sender_dependent_authentication = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd smtp_tls_security_level = none "smtp_tls_security_level = none" will be overwritten by smtp_tls_policy_maps, and I think "smtp_sender_dependent_authentication = yes" will do the same. /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd : <> userid:pwd @gmx.es userid:pwd etcetera -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.5°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
