Hello. I'd like to help! ... not a clue if this fits your requirements or whether it is indeed helpful. (Its meant to be my benefit to the group, rather of awaiting replies to my own inquiries ...)
I use following setup in postfix, which I think is much greater then exim. (exim and ppp/dialin gave me too much problem I could not cope, also postfix's much easier to setup!) ----- main.cf --------- [...] mydestination = csav-3, localhost.localdomain, localhost [...] append_dot_mydomain = no relayhost = smtp.mailhost.net ## any smtp host defer_transports = smtp disable_dns_lookups = yes sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd smtp_sasl_security_options = ---- canonicals only entry: --- #user email gerd [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---- last but not least: /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd (only one line) --- ## a bit confused: whole email as passwd like gmx must have / could be also somekind of alphanumerical one, for instance "passwd123" smtp.mailhost.net [EMAIL PROTECTED]:fit9084 that's it! you have to rehash the canonical and sas_passwd to have them as true databases workable for postfix. "postmap [filename]" will do the job. Please I am not sure, if you would ever get to this point beg one else to answer this (long ago I set this up, i forgot) best regards, alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
