I've installed postfix but I can't find what should I do to allow it to use my user's password for my ISP smtp relay.
I've already googled for it, found dozens of places, and now I am very confused.
I remember trying to figure this one out as well. What you do is edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and add a line like this:
relayhost = [your.isps.smtp.server]
In the same file also add these lines:
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/saslpass
Then edit/create the file /etc/postfix/saslpass and add this line:
your.isps.smtp.server username:password
Issue the command: # postmap /etc/postfix/saslpass
Unless you want everyone on the system to have access to your password, execute this as well: # chmod 600 /etc/postfix/saslpass
Finally, you want to restart postfix to enable the change. # /etc/init.d/postfix restart
I wrote this from memory and using grep on the files in /etc/postfix so if I left something out I apologize!
