Hello, I have been trying to have postfix on my server relay all smtp via amazon SES. I followed the instructions on amazons site but when I try to send an email I get the 530 Authentication Required message. I am running Debian 7.8 and the latest version of ispconfig. Below is the lines I added to the main.cf file: relayhost = email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:25 smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd smtp_use_tls = yes smtp_tls_security_level = encrypt smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes Below are some of the lines that already existed on the main.cf: smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination, check_recipient_access mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_recipient.cf smtp_tls_security_level = may smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3 smtpd_tls_protocols = !SSLv2,!SSLv3 smtp_tls_protocols = !SSLv2,!SSLv3 dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt I ran postconf -a and the result was: cyrus dovecot I made sure that I created the sasl_password file as instructed. Seems like I am missing something to get postfix to autheticate with amazon SES. I am fairly new at linux so any advice will be appreciated. Thanks
You rellay need MX-lookups for email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com? I prefer relayhost=[email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com]:25 Did you run postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd and reloaded postfix afterwards?
