You could set up your postfix to send emails via submission (port 587) preferably over TLS; here's a link from Ubuntu help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix If done correctly, you shouldn't need any modification to your scripts (if they are using the good old sendmail interface, that is; if they're talking directly to foreign SMTP servers via standard ports, that is another matter ;) Good luck! -- Zak B.
