What exactly is the problem? Any errors in your mail log? BTW, if you send from a dynamic IP, your emails migt not arrive because almost all dynamic IPs are blacklisted. In this case you should set up relaying: http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_relaying_through_another_mailserver
Postfix Hi Falko, thanks for your reply, Let me go on the learning... Sorry, it may sound silly questions but as I have been learning by myself it is very challenging My local internet provider is www.tpa.com.br ( brasilian ) What is the file's name to type in below lines, please? #---------------- postconf -e 'relayhost = smtp.tpa.com.br' postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes' postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd' postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_security_options =' #---------------- #--- below - my internet provider + user at this proivder + pass = correct ? echo "smtp.tpa.com.br ewb1:1234567" > /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd chown root:root /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd /etc/init.d/postfix restart
If smtp.tpa.com.br is your ISP's mail server and your username and password are correct, then this looks good.
Are you sure that smtp.tpa.com.br is the correct server? Maybe you need to ask your ISP what the right server is.
Postfix + no-ip = happiness It sure is... I use "no-ip" as you saw above. I have been trying to install "postfix" as one of my Debian Linux goals. For a newbie it has been a tough one lol It ain't that "piece of cake" as they say... What should I check... ? Thank you, danke, merci, grazie, muchas gracias, arigato, nihau...
Can you log into smtp.tpa.com.br with the username and password using a normal email client such as Outlook or Thunderbird?
... ok, thanks. I just wanted to know what is wrong above. - debian 64 bits on a server ( computer for learning ) - No-ip - Trying to setup postfix... - I dont have any dns installed because I have been trying 2 do that 2... and be happy
