Hi egrimisu, As you didn't say anything about your setup I assume: - BackupPC installed via apt-get
after installation of the package the postfix setup is started, chose "Satellite System" for "General type of configuration". *|type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix" to change this in case it's not.|* *||* *|*then the config file edits:*|* *||* *|*****|* *||*In /etc/postfix/main.cf add: smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_security_options = noplaintext noanonymous smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_password *** noplaintext enables encryption for the password transmission. create password file: sudo touch /etc/postfix/sasl_password edit file: sudo vi /ect/postfix/sasl_password add credentials (servername username:password): mail.yourprovider.ort myusernam:mypassword change permissions for the file: sudo chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl_password update database: sudo postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_password restart postfix: sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart set "EMailFromUserName" in webconfig or BackupPC config file. (most providers check the sender address, so make sure it is correct). send BackupPC test mail: sudo -u backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail -u [email protected] That should do the trick. If not, there should be some postfix tutorials or manuals. cheers gagablubber egrimisu schrieb: > Hi there, > well all the mails sent from backuppc gets to junk mail, how can it send the > mails with authentication.
