Not only for the software - and it is amazing and an enormous accomplishment to have a clean code base after 25 years of organic growth - but also for the mailing list. The discussions were and still are hugely educational and sometimes even transformative. Thanks again. -- Eray ___ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org
[pfx] sasl_passwd hash
I'm using Alpine for e-mail and have the "app" password stored in a file so that the client can login to Gmail. It's stored as an alphanumeric with whitespace: xxx yyy zzz How and where is this password stored on Ubuntu? /etc/postfix/sasl/sasl_passwd is where I have it. The example is: [smtp.gmail.com]:587 jane@gmail.com:doeadeer but let's put some whitespace in there: doe 123 adee 456 r78 so the file would like as: [smtp.gmail.com]:587 jane@gmail.com:doe 123 adee 456 r78 is that correct? see also: https://askubuntu.com/q/1497269/847449 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GmailPostfixFetchmail thanks, Nick ___ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org

+1 thank you. I have enjoyed Postfix for all these years & paid zero for it. Seems wrong somehow, but I am very grateful. - Marc On 15/12/2023 12:20 am, Wietse Venema via Postfix-users wrote: As a few on this list may recall, it is 25 years ago today that the "IBM secure mailer" had its public beta release. This was accompanied by a nice article in the New York Times business section. There is some literature at https://www.postfix.org/press.html that attests how this project accelerated open-source adoption by a very large company. At the time there were several efforts by people inside IBM to do open-source projects, but it was the NY Times article that brought open source on the radar of the CEO. He then tasked people to come up with an open-source strategy for IBM. As for the name Postfix, my colleagues and I had come up with multiple names that were rejected each time (I still have some Internet domains names from that time). We decided that this was not going to work, released it as "IBM secure mailer", and then, after IBM was no longer in control, changed the name to Postfix. That was a long time ago. Postfix has evolved as the Internet has changed. I am continuing the overhaul of this software, motivated by people like you on this mailing list.
