What exactly is the problem? Any errors in your mail log?

BTW, if you send from a dynamic IP, your emails migt not arrive because almost all dynamic IPs are blacklisted. In this case you should set up relaying: http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_re...her_mailserver

Hi Falko, thanks for your reply,

Let me go on the learning...


Sorry, it may sound silly questions but as I have been learning by myself it is very challenging :-)

My local internet provider is www.tpa.com.br ( brasilian )



What is the file's name to type in below lines, please?

#----------------

postconf -e 'relayhost = smtp.tpa.com.br'

postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes'

postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd'

postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_security_options ='

#----------------

#--- below - my internet provider + user at this proivder + pass = correct ?

echo "smtp.tpa.com.br ewb1:1234567" > /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

chown root:root /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

/etc/init.d/postfix restart

[falko]

If smtp.tpa.com.br is your ISP's mail server and your username and password are correct, then this looks good.

[essex13]

Hi there again, yeah...but it did not work.

What Am I missing here?

[falko]

Are you sure that smtp.tpa.com.br is the correct server? Maybe you need to ask your ISP what the right server is.

[essex13]

It sure is...

I use "no-ip" as you saw above. I have been trying to install "postfix" as one of my Debian Linux goals.
For a newbie it has been a tough one lol

It ain't that "piece of cake" as they say...

What should I check... ?

Thank you, danke, merci, grazie, muchas gracias, arigato, nihau...

[falko]

Can you log into smtp.tpa.com.br with the username and password using a normal email client such as Outlook or Thunderbird?

[essex13]

ok, thanks.

I just wanted to know what is wrong above.

- debian 64 bits on a server ( computer for learning )

- No-ip

- Trying to setup postfix...

- I dont have any dns installed because I have been trying 2 do that 2...

and be happy
