Hello, I am having a maddening problem. I have googled of course for answers, but I cannot figure out exactly what the issue is. I am trying to put the final touches on my postfix/fetchmail setup. Mostly it's working but the crucial piece I'm missing is the ability to send mail to other hosts through my comcast relay from the command line.
I can send mail from my mail client but not from the command line via sendmail, which I would like very much to be able to do. There is just some little SASL detail or something going on here that I'm missing. I could use a good pair of eyes for help! To put it in a nutshell, here is what I'm seeing in the logs when I do "postfix flush": Note that I can telnet to smtp.comcast.net 587 and make a connection, so I am ignoring "no route to host" messages at the moment. Especially since you can see it does connect. Config logs are below. Sorry for the long message, but I'm hopefully anticipating the questions a knowledgable expert might ask of me. :-) I can ramp up the verbosity but you probably get the idea. Warm thanks for any help! ================================================================================ ============= # LOG FILE CONTENTS: Aug 15 12:48:27 RichCookHomeMac postfix/qmgr[60944]: 810762983FD0: from=<***>, size=332, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 15 12:48:27 RichCookHomeMac postfix/qmgr[60944]: AED65298168E: from=<***>, size=327, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 15 12:48:27 RichCookHomeMac postfix/qmgr[60944]: AF585298168F: from=<***>, size=327, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 15 12:48:27 RichCookHomeMac postfix/qmgr[60944]: C873A29816BA: from=<***>, size=306, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 15 12:48:27 RichCookHomeMac postfix/qmgr[60944]: CFE0E2983B7C: from=<***>, size=302, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 15 12:48:27 RichCookHomeMac postfix/qmgr[60944]: D71C029816E8: from=<***>, size=307, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 15 12:48:27 RichCookHomeMac postfix/smtp[61130]: connect to smtp.comcast.net[2001:558:fe2d:70::30]:587: No route to host Aug 15 12:48:27 RichCookHomeMac postfix/smtp[61133]: connect to smtp.comcast.net[2001:558:fe2d:70::30]:587: No route to host Aug 15 12:48:27 RichCookHomeMac postfix/smtp[61132]: connect to smtp.comcast.net[2001:558:fe2d:70::30]:587: No route to host Aug 15 12:48:27 RichCookHomeMac postfix/smtp[61132]: CFE0E2983B7C: to=<***>, relay=smtp.comcast.net[76.96.40.155]:587, delay=1844, delays=1844/0/0.09/0, dsn=4.0.0, status=deferred (host smtp.comcast.net[76.96.40.155] refused to talk to me: 421 omta14.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net comcast Too many sessions opened) Aug 15 12:48:27 RichCookHomeMac postfix/smtp[61130]: Untrusted TLS connection established to smtp.comcast.net[76.96.40.155]:587: TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits) Aug 15 12:48:27 RichCookHomeMac postfix/smtp[61133]: Untrusted TLS connection established to smtp.comcast.net[76.96.40.155]:587: TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits) Aug 15 12:48:27 RichCookHomeMac postfix/smtp[61131]: Untrusted TLS connection established to smtp.comcast.net[76.96.40.155]:587: TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits) Aug 15 12:48:27 RichCookHomeMac postfix/smtp[61134]: Untrusted TLS connection established to smtp.comcast.net[76.96.40.155]:587: TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits) Aug 15 12:48:28 RichCookHomeMac postfix/smtp[61130]: warning: SASL authentication failure: No worthy mechs found Aug 15 12:48:28 RichCookHomeMac postfix/smtp[61130]: AED65298168E: to=<***>, relay=smtp.comcast.net[76.96.40.155]:587, delay=190442, delays=190441/0/0.39/0, dsn=4.7.0, status=deferred (SASL authentication failed;
