By "set alpine to use authentication," do you mean "have alpine send mail via an authenticated connection rather than just dumping to sendmail"?
Paul, Yep. That's what I mean. I'm still learning the language and the tools. All this to avoid being greylisted when I send mail to domains that check for authentication.
If so, then something like this works: smtp-server=mail.appl-ecosys.com:587/user=rshepard/tls
Where does this go? I'm not forwarding mail through another mail server so the port should be 25 ... I think. I believe that I need to also set a TXT record on my DNS server for SPF and, perhaps, one for DMARC. Much to learn and looking for resources.
The hostname, port, and security protocols may need adjusting, depending on your setup. (If your mail server isn't listening on port 587, you may want to look it up.) If you're using straight SSL, that directive might look like this: smtp-server=mail.appl-ecosys.com:465/user=rshepard/ssl
I don't know what postfix is using here. I have the router set to forward incoming mail through port 25; outgoing mail uses teh same port. I've not explicitly set SSL or TSL for alpine/postfix.
This all assumes, of course, that your mail server has already been configured to handle user authentication...
I've installed opendkim but have not yet started it. Thanks, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
