I uncommented the above line and added the following to main.cf: smtpd_tls_security_level = may as instructed here: http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html#server_enable and restarted postfix, but I still can't send. In claws-mail, I tried specifying 587 and I'm specifying Use SSL for SSMTP. I'm guessing TLS isn't set up properly? - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
