Where can I find real examples of /etc/postfix/main.cf setup on host with no resolvable FQDN relaying throu smtp Smarthost with authentication?
I've been experimenting; have setup sasl user password authtication. Hashed it with postmap, encluded the necessay smtp statements and etc in main.cf I've tried using the actual hostname and domain name (even though they are not resolvable anywhere buit my home lan) in main.cf. I wasn't sure about iincluding/attaching it here .. if that is allowed in this newsgroup so left out main.cf for now. My experimental configuration in place, I try sending something with postfix's sendmail as root and as user reader reader > sudo sendmail -vt <tmail.txt Mail Delivery Status Report will be mailed to <root>. reader > sendmail -vt <tmail.txt Mail Delivery Status Report will be mailed to <reader>. tmail.txt contains: To: rea...@newsguy.com Subject: test of rough config on postfix From: rea...@local.lan And here goes the e-mail body test etc etc etc etc. . I tried tmail as shown, and with `From: ' field like this: From: rea...@newsguy.com (which is a working email address) smtp.newsguy.com is also the SmartHost where I have credentials; used in `main.cf'. Even though the sendmail message says reports will be mailed, nothing shows up at /var/spool/mail or at rea...@newsguy.com iinboxhowubunt ls -l /var/spool/mail/ total 1 - rw------- 1 reader mail 0 Jan 9 23:52 reader empty. Examples of working configs from a situation like mine would really be helpful. Any suggestions at all would be most welcome.
