Actually I have all of this working with the exception of actually sending mail from a client through my Linux server. My server is now: 1) getting mail from my ISP 2) sending mail to my ISP 3) allowing my (windows outlook express) client to get mail from the Linux server. The only thing missing is being able to send mail from my (windows outlook express) client through my Linux server. I just downloaded and installed Cirus SASL, thinking this would be the simple answer to not messing with everything that is already working. There were a couple of problems, though: I followed the directions at: http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/postfix-sasl.php I got as far as: ...

I did as the make install said (ln -s /usr/local/lib/sasl2 /usr/lib/sasl2) so I have a /usr/lib/sasl2 directory. But, in the sasl2 directory, there is no smtpd.conf file... > > If you have problems, post them here and the rest of us will try to help as > best we can.
