Any mail client in grml allows me to relay mail through ISP
Hi
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.
how to make postfix to use SMTP auth for sending mail to a smarthost or a transport map relay server. http://www.k2.on.lk/fourm/viewtopic.php?t=30
Gmail on Home Linux Box using Postfix http://souptonuts.sourceforge.net/postfix_tutorial.html
The reason that I need the mail relay is because my ISP has blocked my 25 mail port. So it is impossible for me to file bug reports, use my mail to backup my save-config, etc ... Now that nearly 90% of people are suffering from this mail port block, this feature would be requested again and again.
please help. thanks a lot

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).
$ diff -wu2 /etc/postfix/main.cf.org /etc/postfix/main.cf --- /etc/postfix/main.cf.org 2006-07-10 18:16:39.000000000 +0200 +++ /etc/postfix/main.cf 2006-07-10 18:22:42.000000000 +0200 @@ -14,8 +14,9 @@ alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases mydestination = grml User, localhost, localhost.localdomain, localhost -relayhost = +relayhost = [smtphm.sympatico.ca] mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + -inet_interfaces = loopback-only +inet_interfaces = all +inet_protocols = ipv4
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
Dear T and friends,
I am not sure what you really trying to do, but if you are trying to forward mail in such a manner, you might try using ucspi-ssl.

thanks for the point. Several questions:
Q1: where did you get it?
$ apt-cache show ucspi-ssl W: Unable to locate package ucspi-ssl E: No packages found
Q2: have you been able to configure it to talk to any SMTP server that enforces TLS?
