Some global service providers may accept email from the postfix MTA in your server. Alternately, you can configure postfix to relay the message via a 'smart_host' (preferred method). It will require you to provide a valid email address + plus password for your postfix (client) to do authenticate itself and send the outgoing message. There is ample documentation on the 'Net to accomplish this. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
