Hi there I setup a small server and I want to have send the output of crons to my email. Problem is, that I'm on a dynamic IP and best is to relay the email through my ISP. However my ISP doesn't provide email anymore, instead they just use Gmail. So I thought I could relay it through Gmail. I found this thread here http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?p=105989 and added topdog's suggestions. However I get this when I try to send a mail from mailx: Code: Nov 2 09:41:23 server postfix/pickup[24156]: A40258EC0ED: uid=0 from=<root> Nov 2 09:41:23 server postfix/cleanup[24351]: A40258EC0ED: message-id=<[email protected]> Nov 2 09:41:23 server postfix/qmgr[24158]: A40258EC0ED: from=<[email protected]>, size=344, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Nov 2 09:41:23 server postfix/smtp[24343]: certificate verification failed for smtp.gmail.com[72.14.221.111]:587: untrusted issuer /C=ZA/ST=Western Cape/L=Cape Town/O=Thawte Consulting cc/OU=Certification Services Division/CN=Thawte Premium Server CA/[email protected] Nov 2 09:41:23 server postfix/smtp[24343]: warning: SASL authentication failure: No worthy mechs found Nov 2 09:41:23 server postfix/smtp[24343]: A40258EC0ED: SASL authentication failed; cannot authenticate to server smtp.gmail.com[72.14.221.111]: no mechanismavailable Nov 2 09:41:23 server postfix/smtp[24343]: certificate verification failed for smtp.gmail.com[72.14.221.109]:587: untrusted issuer /C=ZA/ST=Western Cape/L=Cape Town/O=Thawte Consulting cc/OU=Certification Services Division/CN=Thawte Premium Server CA/[email protected] Nov 2 09:41:24 server postfix/smtp[24343]: warning: SASL authentication failure: No worthy mechs found Nov 2 09:41:24 server postfix/smtp[24343]: A40258EC0ED: to=<[email protected]>, relay=smtp.gmail.com[72.14.221.109]:587, delay=0.37, delays=0.06/0/0.32/0, dsn=4.7.0, status=deferred (SASL authentication failed; cannot authenticate to server smtp.gmail.com[72.14.221.109]: no mechanism available) I read here (http://prantran.blogspot.com/2007/01/getting-postfix-to-work-on-ubuntu-with.html) , that I need to add the Thawte Certs to cacert.pem Code: cat /etc/ssl/certs/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem >> cacert.pem When I did that, I get this output in the mail.log: Code: Nov 2 09:34:23 server postfix/pickup[23917]: B78628EC0EB: uid=0 from=<root> Nov 2 09:34:23 server postfix/cleanup[24061]: B78628EC0EB: message-id=<[email protected]> Nov 2 09:34:23 server postfix/qmgr[23919]: B78628EC0EB: from=<[email protected]>, size=317, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Nov 2 09:34:23 server postfix/smtp[24063]: certificate verification failed for smtp.gmail.com[72.14.221.111]:587: untrusted issuer /C=ZA/ST=Western Cape/L=Cape Town/O=Thawte Consulting cc/OU=Certification Services Division/CN=Thawte Premium Server CA/[email protected] Nov 2 09:34:23 server postfix/smtp[24063]: warning: SASL authentication failure: No worthy mechs found Nov 2 09:34:23 server postfix/smtp[24063]: B78628EC0EB: SASL authentication failed; cannot authenticate to server smtp.gmail.com[72.14.221.111]: no mechanismavailable Nov 2 09:34:24 server postfix/smtp[24063]: certificate verification failed for smtp.gmail.com[72.14.221.109]:587: untrusted issuer /C=ZA/ST=Western Cape/L=Cape Town/O=Thawte Consulting cc/OU=Certification Services Division/CN=Thawte Premium Server CA/[email protected] Nov 2 09:34:24 server postfix/smtp[24063]: warning: SASL authentication failure: No worthy mechs found Nov 2 09:34:24 server postfix/smtp[24063]: B78628EC0EB: to=<sj[email protected]>, relay=smtp.gmail.com[72.14.221.109]:587, delay=0.38, delays=0.04/0.02/0.32/0, dsn=4.7.0, status=deferred (SASL authentication failed; cannot authenticate to server smtp.gmail.com[72.14.221.109]: no mechanism available) Here's the output of saslfinger -c Code: saslfinger -

Not sure what's happening, but I see that you have a GMX account. You can use GMX for relaying emails instead of GMail.
I solved it meanwhile BUT only gmail will accept the email - no other server Looking now at "esmtp" which seems to work fine but I can't figure out how to define a subject there...
Nice to hear that you solved the problem. Could you please share with us how you resolved it? Thanks!
