That looks correct except for "<http://smtp.example.com>" in sasl_passwd. I'd remove that. Assuming that smtp.example.com accepts connections on TCP 25 this should work. Try 587 if it doesn't work. Oh, and I'm not sure why, but my config has smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous instead of a blank. -- Stan
