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!
