Yes, but without the brackets (curly braces).


and

relayhost = {submission.server.com}:587 
to

relayhost = {smtp.fuse.net}:587


Yes, but without the brackets (curly braces).



where smtp.fuse.net = the (dsl) isp mailServer - Not my local machine 
taster.local

and
myFuseUser:myFuseUserPasswd = a valid user /psswd on that server


Instead of using smtp.fuse.net, you might be able to send it straight to 
your server by substituting your mail server's url/user/password, 
providing that fuse.net doesn't block port 587.

That should do it.
Note, this configuration relies on hostname being set correctly

variable appropriately.

You are correct there. chkuser has an option to check for the sending 
domain's MX record and deny if the sending domain does not have an MX 
record. Seems logical since if there is an error you need somewhere to 
send that error message to and if there is no MX record there is nowhere 
to send it (also acts as a spam check).
You can go in and recompile chkuser to turn this option off 
(*CHKUSER_RCPT_MX*) by undefining it. It is undefined in later versions 
of chkuser but I plan to leave it on when I update chkuser - it makes 
more sense to keep it because of what it does rather than remove it and 
force 98% of our users to then turn it back on.
You may also be able to turn it off in your tcp.smtp file for specific 
IP addresses, much like SENDER_NOCHECK, but I have not tried this and no 
one else has posted back as to the validity of this.

You can also add that domain to your DNS so it does have a valid MX record.

Hope that helps some.

that than send mail.
Postfix was what i was using before i found -- the best mailserver 
solution of qmailtoaster...


anyways

I can email with a client ( evolution )  and that does come through

even though I am using sendmail. the smtp server is one from the 
isp - a dsl modem etc.


I can command line send mail ( sendmail )  to a gmail account  -

here is the full header of the client ( evolution ) email that

In a typical configuration, it would be hitting your smtp server port 
25, which you would see in your smtp log:

# qmlog -lc fuse\.net

Hey Jim,

I just happened to be doing this today, so here are my notes on how to 
set up postfix to send mail out from a generic server, like for 
logwatch output and such (that would otherwise go to r...@localhost).


{replace what's in braces, and remove braces}

# yum install postfix
# yum remove sendmail

# cd /etc/pki/tls/certs
# make postcert.pem

# echo "{submission.server.com}:587 {user:passwd}" \
> /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
# chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
# chown root:root /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
# postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

Edit /etc/aliases if desired, then do newaliases command:
root:sysadmin
# newaliases

Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf, changing these from the default values 
(this was CentOS5.3):

myorigin = $mydomain
#mydestination =
mynetworks_style = host
relayhost = {submission.server.com}:587
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options =
smtp_use_tls = yes
smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/pki/tls/certs/postcert.pem
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:/var/run/smtp_tls_session/cache

# service postfix start
# chkconfig postfix on

That should do it.
Note, this configuration relies on hostname being set correctly for 
your domain. If it's not, you'll need to change the myorigin variable 
appropriately.


Please let us know whether or not this works for you.

myorigin is the domain that you want postfix to appear to be sending 
from. In your case, I think you'd want to use:

myorigin = pps-inc.com


also I am using my isp   smpt.fuse.net


That shouldn't come into play (unless they're blocking port 587 outbound 
from your remote/postfix server).


also also _ I have never done a yum remove of sendmail ( or anything 
like that before...)
I might like to copy the sendmail.cf  some where to see the alterations 
I made

things like the SEND_AUTH  stuff.


Suit yourself. You shouldn't really need it any more though.


thanks again!


Sure.

Figures there'd be a type-o or two.
smtp_tls_session/cache should be smtp_tls_session_cache

Hey Jim,

I just happened to be doing this today, so here are my notes on how to 
set up postfix to send mail out from a generic server, like for logwatch 
output and such (that would otherwise go to r...@localhost).


{replace what's in braces, and remove braces}

# yum install postfix
# yum remove sendmail

# cd /etc/pki/tls/certs
# make postcert.pem

# echo "{submission.server.com}:587 {user:passwd}" \
 > /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
# chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
# chown root:root /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
# postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

Edit /etc/aliases if desired, then do newaliases command:
root:sysadmin
# newaliases

Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf, changing these from the default values (this 
was CentOS5.3):

myorigin = $mydomain
#mydestination =
mynetworks_style = host
relayhost = {submission.server.com}:587
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options =
smtp_use_tls = yes
smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/pki/tls/certs/postcert.pem
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:/var/run/smtp_tls_session/cache

# service postfix start
# chkconfig postfix on

That should do it.
Note, this configuration relies on hostname being set correctly for your 
domain. If it's not, you'll need to change the myorigin variable 
appropriately.


Please let us know whether or not this works for you.

For  what you need, postfix isn't a bad choice. Certainly better than 
sendmail.
