That's how the relayhost option in main.cf comes into play. All email originating from your server will be routed through the ISP's mail server which should not be blacklisted. So all of your email, regardless of where it is going, will pass up through your ISP's mail server to be delivered along to the final destination. > > There's a couple of steps that you'll need to take to get mail from your > > system piped through your ISP: > > > > 1. /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd: Edit this file to include a line like: > > mail.myisp.net username:password > > Is it possible to use different authentications > for diferent users on my computers?

All you're doing with this configuration is passing email from your server up to the ISP for delivery to the final destination; it is not going to be altered by the ISP's mail server to change who the message originates from, so it doesn't matter which account the email passes through. > [...] > > VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure that you're not running an open mail relay > > (lots of info via google about how to ensure postfix is not an open mail > > relay).

It basically controls who can relay mail through the server. For example, I'm actually away from home but can relay through my box because I've got it set up to allow my authenticated smtp relay connection. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
