Sorry about the previous post, I see the subject had a typo. So here's the correct one :)
Does anyone know how to configure Postfix to use SMTP authentication on a relay host?
i.e. I have a Linux server, running PostFix on an ADSL line with a dynamic IP. Thus I can't just send out emails from this server but need to relay it via our ISP's SMTP server, which is very unreliable. Now I want to relay the email via another SMTP, running cPanel server where a user account with the same domain has already been setup, but I got no idea how to get it to work on SMTP authenticiaion.
Any suggestions?
Hi,
If you want to send mail via another server, Pls edit /etc/postfix/main.cfin following way.
relayhost = an.ip.add.ress of isp mail server
then , restart postfix as follows
service postfix restart
