Hey folks, I have a basic roaming laptop 'situation' -- ie laptop moves around between different networks. I also have a public mail server on a static IP address.
I thought for various reasons it would be convienient for my laptop to relay mail through my server. The normal way to do this seems to be with SASL authentication to the server. But I don't want to send mail in what I call Evolution-style, where the MUA authenticates directly to the public mail server. I want to send it mutt style, where I insert it into the *local* mail queue on the laptop, and the laptop's MTA authenticates to upstream. It looks like TLS is good for this. Theorectically, I can just give the server the client's public key, and say "any client who can send messages decrypted by this public key (ie, the client with the private key), you're allowed to relay for". But I've been mucking around all night with self-signed certs, and the bazillion Postfix options listed at http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/pfixtls/doc/conf.html without much luck. Anyone got a short client-Postfix to server-Postfix TLS guide to setting up keys and configuring the NECESSARY variables? I'm not interested in SASL at this time, unless it is necessary to use it and I've missed the reason.
