Hello! I have just installed postfix hre, but I can't get it to authenticate with my ISP's smarthost. I've read the documentation, and this is what I did:
In my /etc/postfix/main.cf: smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/saslpd smtp_sasl_security_options = And in /etc/postfix/saslpd: smarthost pellegrini:PASSWORD (Is that correct? Should I really put the name of the smarthost there?) But then, postfix complains that it can't find /etc/postfix/saslpd.db (why did it add the "db" sufix to the file name?) If I mv /etc/postfix/saslpd /etc/postfix/saslpd.db, postfix finds the file, but says: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/saslpd.db: Invalid argument I have postfix and postfix-tls installed; it all works well if I don't use the smarthost (but then there will be sites that will reject mail from me, of course, because I have a dynamic IP...) What is it that I'm doing wrong? Thanks a lot! J. --
