It's easy: Install a sufficiently recent version of postfix on your
computer. Add the following settings to /etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/saslpass
# Specify zero or more of the following:
#
# noplaintext: disallow methods that use plaintext passwords
# noactive: disallow methods subject to active (non-dictionary) attack
# nodictionary: disallow methods subject to passive (dictionary) attack
# noanonymous: disallow methods that allow anonymous authentication
#
# By default, the Postfix SMTP client will not use plaintext passwords.
#
smtp_sasl_security_options =
Into /etc/postfix/saslpass, you put something like this:
smarthost user:pass
Then, type "cd /etc/postfix && postmap saslpass".
That's all. That way, all of the mail your system generates is sent
out in a properly authenticated way.
