OK Sandy, this message received on my new mail server. I re-named my server from cammee.local to just cammee. Set $myshotname = 'mail.jjfiii.com' in amavisd.conf. I guess the problem was with amavis the whole time. I did find thru uname that reverse dns did not resolve previoulsly. Does that still matter?
You menitoned earlier about relay_host = localhost. I have that working now, but have found limitations in the past where I can't send email to certain isp's. How do I set that up to work with my isp's smtp server? I know the settings to address thier server, and my user name and password, but were do I enter these for postfix to use them?
I am using transport settings for those pesky domains.
The necessary settings are the following:
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd smtp_sasl_type = cyrus
/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd: [mail.myisp.net] username:password [mail.myisp.net]:submission username:password
Some mailserver are satisfied if you have an ip from their network, others need smtp auth to verify the actual user. In the first case you only need to set the relay host, in the latter you have to set all the settings above. Make sure that you have the necessary sasl libraries installed.
Hi Sandy, Now I'm getting a bit confused. I was going to set up smtp sasl auth enable for my email server, as well as tls, which would encrypt outside connections to that. Now my isp does not require encryption, but they do require smtpauth, unencrypted. I may be answering my own question there, but does the line smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes refer to my relayhost, and the smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes refer to my mail server? If so then we are setting the relayhost to use smtp_sasl_auth and can separately set smtpd_sasl_auth to allow outside relay thru my mail server, to my isp's server to the destination? Sorry for the double questions. Jim
