Hi,
I have proceeded to the point where an attempt is made for relayed mail to
be delivered to my ISPs SMTP server.
For relay, I have the following directive in my smtpd.conf:
action "relay_via_ziggo" relay host smtp+tls://smtp.ziggo.nl:587 auth {
"dummy" = "login:password" }
Obviously, login and password are filled in to the relevant values
corresponding to what is required by my ISP.
My first question is this -- the auth requires a key/value table. As to the
key, the man page on table(5) says the following:
(BEGIN QUOTE)
In a relay context, the credentials are a mapping of labels and
username:password pairs:
label1 user:password
The label must be unique and is used as a selector for the proper
credentials when multiple credentials are valid for a single destination.
The password is not encrypted as it must be provided to the remote host.
(END QUOTE)
This leaves me wondering what I should fill in there. The name of the
action? The name of the server? Any random label?
The behavior I now observe is that smtpd does try to send mail; a TLS
session is started, and I see the expected to-and-fro between my side and
the ISP side.
However, while the server advocates "AUTH LOGIN PLAIN", smtpd never
authenticates (ie it doesn't send an AUTH command), and consequently the
mail dropoff is rejected by the remote side.
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers, Sidney
