Hi, thanks for sticking in there with me. It now WORKS! I have 10 new
meaningless messages in my inbox with the subject “test” and it is wonderful.
The problem seems to have been that I misread Patrick Koetter's instructions
and had mistakenly set
smtpd_sasl_security_options=noanonymous
When he actually said
smtp_sasl_security_options = noplaintext, noanonymous
smtp_sasl_tls_security_options = noanonymous
Thanks for pointing out that I had not done it right.
It turns out that I did need to have the
>> inet_protocols = all
in order for fetchmail to talk to postfix on my localhost, but it does not
break my comcast connection to be rid of it.
Anyhow, I could hug you right now! Thanks, what a relief.
One last little detail, there are now three messages stuck in my queue that
were sent I think when I had the relayhost set to be google. Is there a way to
clear them out? When I do postfix flush, they just stay deferred. I’m very
happy to have this small problem. :-)
