Hi all,

i wonder how to configure postfix make it use externa smtp server i tried the following

relayhost = my.stmp.com smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtp_sasl_tls_security_options = $smtp_sasl_security_options smtp_use_tls = yes

in /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd i have

my.smtp.com user:password

then i postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

restart the postfix, but now i have this problem.

Jul 14 12:06:33 garron postfix/smtp[8510]: ECA31F3009D: to=< ggarron@hotmail.com>, relay= my.smtp.com, delay=2, status=deferred (Authentication failed: cannot SASL authenticate to server scz.alketech.com[ 200.87.61.8 3]: no mechanism available)

i tried with

smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtp_sasl_security_options = noplaintext, noanonymous smtp_sasl_security_options = but never works, with the second i got the error up. with the other it does not even try to login.

i also saw this. when i issue this command as root

postmap -q my.stmp.com hash:sasl_passwd i go this error

Jul 14 13:12:13 garron postfix/postmap[9123]: fatal: open database sasl_passwd.db: Permission denied i tried even with 777 permissions

any clues?

regards, Guillermo.
