Hi guys, I am trying to send automated command line mail via mutt but keep on getting "SASL Authentication" failures. I have tried a LOT of different suggestions on google and combinations of it.
I have Postfix setup (on Debian) as a local MTA (using gmail) which is working fine. However, whenever I try sending mail from mutt (from a laptop connected to my local lan) I get this error. Here is a snippet from my log file: fever.havannah.local is where Postfix is running 10.0.0.0 is my local lan ################################################################################################################################################## Nov 19 15:03:11 fever postfix/master[11168]: daemon started -- version 2.11.3, configuration /etc/postfix Nov 19 15:03:16 fever postfix/smtpd[11189]: warning: No server certs available.
