I've googled around and although I get a lot of hits about postfix smarthost authentication with ssl, I can not find out how to actually accomplish the task.
I've read through smatterings of postings from Neophasis and the like searching for just the syntax and what file (I assume it's main.cf) I should be using; however, any smtpd_ lines I have tried result in postfix hanging and refusing to deliver mail.
smtpd_* is the wrong configuration option. It applies to Postfix acting as server, while you want to configure Postfix being the client. So you have to read through man 5 postconf for smtp_ (smtp_tls_*) options.
I could simply cease using smarthost, but my ip address is dynamic (yes I know stop yelling at me I'm poor right now) so mail bounces to some domains if I don't use smarthost.
The server I'm running postfix on is CentOS 4 (fully updated). Postfix version is 2.2.10-1.1.el4 (from rpm -qa). I have not had sufficient downtime to upgrade to CentOS 5. Should I do that?
Sincerely
For what a howto when you can read the manpage for postconf? Even each smarthost can be configured with different musts, so there can't be a globally valid setup guide.
