Not quite, as you're not connecting to the right relay service. Do check an authoritative source on what relayhost you're supposed to use. > This is when I use: > *smtp_tls_security_level =encrypt* The TLS settings are irrelevant, when you can't even complete a TCP connection: > localhost postfix/smtp[4700]: SSL_connect error to > email-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com[54.154.210.139]:465: Connection timed out Your machine can't connect to port 465 on that host. > This is when I use: > *smtp_tls_security_level = secure* The same of course. > I am using port 465 as suggested by Amazon ses: > http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/postfix.html What I see in that document is: relayhost = [email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com]:25 smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd smtp_use_tls = yes smtp_tls_security_level = encrypt smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes That is port 25 and no "wrapper mode". The "smtp_use_tls" is not needed since Postfix 2.3 in ~2006. No idea where you're getting 465 from. -- Viktor.
