Re: unable to send external mail with smtpd
Thanks eveyone! Sending this from my mail client, I just followed Kolipe's advice and changed smtp+tls to smtps and am now able to send mail. I was alreaady using the plain text rather than cramd-5 and was using port 485 because it seemed to be the one that worked when i was using isync Cheers, Freddie 0n 20-10-2021 12:05, freddiebub...@countermail.com wrote: Hi, I'm new to openbsd having just set it up on my x200 and loving it (running so much better than my old distro). after reading through c0ffee's laptop set up guide and the afterboot man page i'm struggling to work out why i can't send mail through my mail account w smtpd. i have asked my provider for support about the issues i saw other people having (port 25 not being open) but they said that wasn't it and they were unsure about the problem. below i have linked to a paste of my smtpd.conf and my maillog.

It seems they're more interested in supporting mail clients and not a relaying connection from an MTA is my guess. See: https://support.countermail.com/kb/faq.php?id=90 In that case, don't use smptd and configure whatever mail client you use to connect directly to their service. (...or get a new service provider that doesn't require CRAM-MD5) Unless something's changed in 7-8 years I don't think OpenSMTPD is going to support CRAM-MD5. See this old GH exchange with Gilles for some background on why: https://github.com/OpenSMTPD/OpenSMTPD/issues/430 -dv
