First of all, let me confess the hidden agenda for me to install grml -- to tap into the unbelievable knowledge base of grml users and admin, because I had been trying to setup my Postfix to relay my mails through my ISP with SASL required many times but all failed.
I'm been searching and following the document on the net (eg, the following two), but all attempts failed.

Did you run 'dpkg-reconfigure postfix'?
Yes, but it is not very helpful.
Here is the log if I do it again right after grml2hd:
cp /etc/postfix/main.cf /etc/postfix/main.cf.org
% dpkg-reconfigure postfix Local delivery only - You are not on a network. Mail for local users is delivered.
1. No configuration 3. Internet with smarthost 5. Local only 2. Internet Site 4. Satellite system
General type of configuration? 3

The relayhost parameter specifies the default host to send mail to when no entry is matched in the optional transport(5) table. When no relayhost is given, mail is routed directly to the destination.
SMTP relay host? (blank for none) [smtphm.sympatico.ca]

Postfix is now set up with the changes above. If you need to make changes, edit /etc/postfix/main.cf (and others) as needed. To view Postfix configuration values, see postconf(1).

It doesn't touch anything on setting Postfix to relay my mails through my ISP with SASL required, ie, all the smtp_tls_ setting are not there. That's where I'm having difficulties at.
please help
thank
