Family dinner on Sunday, so I doubt I'll make it to clinic, but here's how I have outbound mail configured. I'm relaying through easydns.com using sasl. I use this setup because getting outbound email working through comcast was a two week long exercise in frustration. Note that I won't guarantee I have all the security aspects covered. Hopefully someone will speak up if they spot something wrong. This is postfix running under CentOS 6. main.cf: ... relayhost = [mailout.easymail.ca]:submission smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd smtp_sasl_security_options = noplaintext, noanonymous smtp_sasl_tls_security_options = noanonymous smtp_tls_security_level = may ... sasl_passwd: [mailout.easymail.ca]:submission f...@example.com:password f...@example.com is a user ID I set up with easydns specifically for relaying mail. Don't forget to run postmap on sasl_passwd.
