As it happened, I did get things more or less working last night. But I did look at your write-up, and checked aspects of your setup against mine. relayhost = [mail.isp.com] I put the main domain name in there, and not in brackets. That way Postfix does a lookup and gets the MX record, and uses that. That way if my ISP changes their mail server, it won't break my setup. smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd Got those two, and the ssl_password set up. I looked up smtp_tls_security_level in the docs (http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html), and decided to set it to "may". So that was a useful hint. Thanks for the writeup and quick response. > > > For one thing, what packages in addition to postfix itself do I need? > > I don't recall if you need an actual sasl package (cyrus?).

Here's what I have installed, and things seem to work. libsasl2-2-2.1.22.dfsg1-18ubuntu2--i386 libsasl2-modules-2.1.22.dfsg1-18ubuntu2--i386 Cyrus is not installed.
