Problem is, the above setting doesn't cover my case, in which the smarthost server requires username and password for SMTP SSL authentication. On Sat, 02 Sep 2006 01:30:42 -0400, Roberto C.

I have no doubt of that, but it can only achieved by expert like you, Roberto, not normal John user like me. Last time, I followed the Debian Postfix/SASL/TLS HowTo, and carried through all the following steps: - configure postfix with SASL support - configure postfix TLS settings - creating my own local certificate CA - generate the server certificate - sign the server certificate - copy Signed Certificates to the right place - update the certificate expiration date - then configure the postfix Certificates settings but, all the effort end up with the following in the syslog: 23:07:25 cxmr postfix/postfix-script: refreshing the Postfix mail system 23:07:25 cxmr postfix/master[31693]: reload configuration 23:07:39 cxmr postfix/smtpd[9304]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms 23:07:40 cxmr postfix/master[31693]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 9304 exit status 1 23:07:40 cxmr postfix/master[31693]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling Is there any way for postfix to show me the entire SMTP communication process, ie, the SMTP command issued by MTA and respond get from server, right from the first helo command, through the relaying to ISP, beyong starttls, and till the very end quit command? This'd much more helpful than the syslog above. thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
