This is for Asif AND Thomas in regards to my previous email about MSMTP. First, I did manage to get MSMTP working to send email out. While outgoing mail worked, incoming via fetchmail suddenly stopped complaining it couldn't bind to 127.0.0.1 port 25: name 0: connection to localhost:smtp [127.0.0.1/25] failed: Connection refused.
Now, to get to the question Thomas posed to me as well as for clarification: We're looking to deploy a second RT instance for our Service Department (our IT Dept system might get rebuilt as I have yet to get an answer from the distro list as to why my file attachments can now no longer be over 1MB after a database mangling). This ticket desk needs to communicate to clients our on the Internet. The thinking was to just have a simple SMTP agent to send the mail out & have fetchmail poll the server for incoming versus running a full-on mail server. We run an Exchange server that relays out to a Postfix server, then to the Internet. Why is it Postfix is needed? Why can't I have lighter weight agents do the work instead? The problem I had with Postfix is for some reason on my new RT system the moment I add the smtpd_recipient_restrictions and put anything down there to restrict, Postfix stops working completely. I want to control what email addresses leave the system.
