[00:01:04] <SteveC> Is it possible to put an in-smtpd filter specifically for mail that's going to be relayed, or does it discover that after it's done all it's filtering?
[00:02:55] *** Jemt has joined #postfix
[00:03:05] <Jemt> Greetz. Can someone help me get Postfix to work? I'm able to send e-mails through TelNet but it dosn't ask me my password (which I want it to). Thunderbird keeps asking for password though, and even though I provide the right password, the mail is not send.
[00:03:37] <Jemt> I think SASLAuth is failing
[00:04:29] <Jemt> I get this error in my mail.log file : SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed
[00:06:24] <Led-Hed> Jemt, what are you using for a MUA and SASL?
[00:06:55] <Jemt> Led-Hed: What is MUA ?
[00:07:21] <Led-Hed> your POP3/IMAP server
[00:07:24] <Jemt> SASL is just "saslauthd"
[00:07:38] <Jemt> Ah, Courior for POP3 (which works fine)
[00:07:52] *** Zblakany_ has joined #postfix
[00:08:09] <Led-Hed> I havent used Cyrus for SASL in a while. Are these local users or Virtual?
[00:08:23] <Jemt> Led-Hed: Local users
[00:08:44] <Jemt> Same accounts I use for shell access
[00:09:48] <Led-Hed> Jemt, I would recommend Dovecot, it makes SASL much easier to setup.
[00:10:17] *** McJerry has joined #postfix
[00:10:27] <Led-Hed> Jemt, increase the logging level in postfix so you get more detail on the errors
[00:10:30] <Jemt> Led-Hed: Oh, I see. Okay, I will look into that tomorrow. I actually found a guide describing how to set up DoveCot
[00:10:46] <Led-Hed> Jemt, what version of postfix?
[00:10:53] <Jemt> Led-Hed: Just a sec
[00:11:29] <Jemt> Led-Hed: 2.3.8-2
[00:12:23] <Led-Hed> Jemt, ok. That version supports Dovecot-Auth
[00:12:31] *** pirho has joined #postfix
[00:12:33] <Jemt> Great :)

[03:27:58] <tbic> I keep getting "warning: problem talking to server private/graylist: Connection timed out" anyone have an iadea as to what is causing it?
[03:28:10] <mysterion> I'm wondering if it's possible to have Postfix 'fork' a message and try two different delivery paths simultaneously. We've got a large cluster of mail servers that we keep live and in-sinc using an LDAP database. And everything's in there: the mailboxes, the mail addresses, virtual addresses, so on, so forth.
[03:28:26] *** magyar has joined #postfix
[03:29:03] <mysterion> We've got two different delivery paths, remote and local, and we want Postfix to try both of them and, if both check out, deliver to both, or one or the other, or neither, depending on how things are set.
[03:30:16] <mysterion> Right now we've got the two LDAP lookups set in virtual_alias_maps, first remote, then local. And currently as soon as one of them appears to be a valid delivery path, it stops any further processing and just delivers to that one path.
[03:41:29] *** seekwill has joined #postfix
[03:43:07] <mysterion> Actually, some more diving through the postfix config docs tells me that it might be better to do the remote lookup in virtual_alias_maps and the local one in virtual_mailbox_maps. What I'm wondering, then, is if these work in a hierarchical fashion: if it delivers to one, will it then ignore the other, or will it try to deliver there, too?
[03:43:38] *** Ryushin has quit IRC
[03:43:43] <mysterion> (Umm, I think 'hierarchical' should have been 'chained', but, whatever)

[03:47:06] <tbic> mysterion -> can you use procmail or a shell script based transport?
[03:52:30] *** jerbear has joined #postfix
[03:53:20] <jerbear> postfix is not appending the correct domain to outgoing mail.... /etc/mailname seems correct. any ideas?
[03:54:22] <mysterion> Procmail is already our delivery agent, but we want to be able to send the email to a remote address or a local address, or to both a remote address and a local address at the same time, or neither.
[03:55:53] *** [hC-] is now known as [hC]
[03:56:35] <mysterion> if I use procmail to do half of the lookup work, then we'll only be able to send to remote addresses if we can also send to a local address, otherwise Postfix will never send the mail on to procmail

[08:50:35] <SteveC> f3ew: wrote a script htat heads off to another SMTP server to check a recipient (and caches it if it's OK)
[08:50:59] <mjoseph> the short answer, AFAICT is no
[08:51:00] <SteveC> f3ew: I want to get it to check relays and transports accurately
[08:51:09] <mjoseph> if you're looking for a way to have postfix "resolve" the address for you
[08:51:23] <mjoseph> in theory, one could write something that speaks the postfix protocol and asks trivial-rewrite to resolve it
[08:51:28] <mjoseph> but i don't know that anyone has
[08:51:34] <mjoseph> if so, i wish they'd tell me
[08:52:24] <SteveC> are you talking to me? No, I'm just taking the recipient and matching it against a tranpsort or relay - if there is one, go off to that server and ask it if it will recieve mail for that recipient or not - used in combination with an exchange server that checks recipient filters in-smtp conversation.
[08:52:29] *** mayur_g3 is now known as maxquerry
[08:52:59] <mjoseph> yes
[08:53:13] <mjoseph> i mean, you can implement the resolution logic yourself
[08:53:18] <mjoseph> using the method f3ew suggests
[08:53:30] <mjoseph> personally, for that sort of thing, i'd really like to ask postfix to do the logic itself
[08:53:52] <SteveC> true
[08:54:06] <SteveC> but this is better than having a second config file with the same info :)
[08:55:09] <mjoseph> sure
[08:55:26] <mjoseph> the really frustrating thing is that postfix has a distinct RPC to do just this
[08:55:31] <mjoseph> err
[08:55:32] <mjoseph> IPC
[08:55:37] <f3ew> SteveC, why not just use reject_unverified_recipient?

[13:54:04] <jpalmer> you can use postsuper to delete the queued messages, but you don't want to do that until you know what is causing them, and the contents of the queued messages.
[13:54:17] <cpm> once you figure out (and we'll gladly help) what's misconfigured, clearing the queue won't be difficult but it would be silly to do that before the problem is resolved.
[13:54:23] *** yajith has left #postfix

[13:54:42] *** cilly has joined #postfix
[13:54:50] <tsurko> have you got any idea what might be wrong?
[13:55:08] <jpalmer> tsurko: you need either smtp authentication, or to setup mynetworks and use permit_mynetworks
[13:56:05] <tsurko> jpalmer, i've smtp auth setup and i think it's working
[13:56:16] <tsurko> however the mail is rejected even from localhost
[13:56:24] <tsurko> and 127.0.0.1 is in mynetworks
[13:56:25] <f3ew> amimusa, your LDAP query needs to return all the users in that case
[13:56:30] <jpalmer> tsurko: is your client configured to use the auth? ;)
[13:56:33] <Haris1> guys
[13:56:37] <tsurko> jpalmer, yes
[13:56:41] <Haris1> where do I set language for postfixadmin?
[13:56:55] <jpalmer> tsurko: do you have permsit_sasl_authenticated set?
[13:56:56] <tsurko> jpalmer, as far as i can see from the logs it is authenticated
[13:57:15] <tsurko> yes - before permit_mynetworks
[13:57:21] <Haris1> I checked /config.inc.php and config.inc.php.sample. I put LANG="en_US.UTF-8" or LANG="en_US" in /etc/environment but so far, in vain
[13:58:10] <jpalmer> tsurko: post an example log to pastebin. if you have smtp auth enabled, the client is using it, and the permit_* line in place, there is no reason for an error as you describe. post logs so I can see the root cause.
[13:58:11] <tsurko> the error is recpient address rejected - yahoo.com

[14:02:50] <davidj> cpm: How can I tell postfix to log where it delivers each message (eg, /home/bob/Maildir/ vs /var/spool/mail/bob) ?
[14:03:27] <cpm> davidj, postfix uses syslog, adjust your syslog.conf
[14:03:36] <davidj> cpm: I've been reviewing my logs, and I haven't seen the problem yet.

[14:06:33] <cpm> !always_bcc
[14:06:34] <knoba> cpm: "always_bcc" : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: Optional address that receives a "blind carbon copy" of each message that is received by the Postfix mail system.
[14:06:40] <Haris1> someone told me put mydestination's value in relay_domains and empty $mydestiantion
[14:06:41] <jpalmer> tsurko: I don't see anything there about the smtp auth working.
[14:06:48] <rob0> recipient_bcc_maps, sender_bcc_maps or always_bcc
[14:07:07] <Haris1> is the message altered in anyway using these parameters?
[14:07:23] <Haris1> or if it the exact copy of what was originally received?
[14:08:18] <rob0> one thing it does NOT do is to preserve the original recipient address[es]

[14:09:36] <Haris1> archived?
[14:09:39] <Haris1> these are not archived
[14:09:41] <Haris1> these are real
[14:10:37] <Haris1> I want the mail server to hand another mail server a copy of the message

[14:14:03] <Haris1> line #12
[14:14:08] <Haris1> I have all my users in mysql
[14:15:55] <Haris1> all I need to do is copy recipient_maps to relay_recipient_maps?
[14:15:58] <jpalmer> Haris: thats for a backup MX. not for a "backup of all mails coming into your machine"
[14:16:16] <Haris1> jpalmer: I am doing the same
[14:16:52] <Haris1> jpalmer: I'm making a primary into a backup and putting up a new primary. I want the backup mx to receive and store mail untill the primary is put live
[14:17:07] <Haris1> right now the primary is not configured in dns
[14:17:32] <jpalmer> postfix (when configured as an MX) will deliver to the primary MX automatically, you don't have to change anything else. set your "backup" server as a lower priority MX (a higher numbered MX record)
[14:17:36] <Haris1> and I'm not archiving. The copy on the current primary is just, so if I don't have any mails on the new primary, I can copy them over. Not lose current mails
[14:17:47] <Haris1> yes, it will, but will it also store locally?
[14:18:19] <jpalmer> it will queue. you don't want your backup MX to consider the domain to be local (or even virtual)

[16:17:37] <davidj> Should I, for example, grep for a specific message in the log? Would that show everything I need?
[16:18:25] <thana> shasta: by default, if no ssl mode is given, ssl is "preferred"
[16:18:46] <shasta> [16:13:39] < shasta> thana, if I read the postfix source and pgsql documentation correctly, postfix should "negotiate" ssl connection if pgsql server supports it
[16:18:51] <shasta> that's what I said ;)
[16:19:11] <thana> shasta: i aggree with you. but it doesn't solve the problem

[16:19:53] <thana> good idea
[16:19:54] *** madrescher has quit IRC
[16:19:55] <shasta> wireshark will be handy
[16:20:00] <davidj> rob0: http://rafb.net/p/MWxRdH49.html has the answers to your questions, as well as what I think is a complete iteration of a loop.
[16:20:03] <shasta> it can decode pgsql protocol IIRC
[16:20:27] <shasta> or there's a separate plugin for that

[16:28:47] *** adj has joined #postfix
[16:30:13] <adj> hi. i'm having a terrible time getting my server to send mail from AUTH'ed users. i can successfully auth against dovecot's sasl provider, but the server keeps rejecting the sender address when i try to send
[16:30:47] <adj> i'm fairly sure its something simple i'm missing, but i can't seem to find it :/
[16:31:28] <mwalling> !logs
[16:31:29] <knoba> mwalling: "logs" : by default, postfix logs to the mail facility of syslog. Something like grep -i `postconf -h syslog_facility` /etc/syslog.conf or grep -rl `postconf -h syslog_name` /var/log/* should tell you where logs are going.
[16:33:30] *** githogori has quit IRC
[16:33:57] <rob0> The unqualified address postmaster@localhost is having .$myorigin appended (append_dot_myorigin = yes, default). Normally "postmaster" should be in alias_maps pointed to "root", and "root" in turn should point to a real user. Since it's all local(8)/qmgr(8) tossing the same queue ID back and forth, I'd guess that there might be a .forward file involved.
[16:37:17] *** anonymouz666 has quit IRC
[16:37:53] <adj> ok. i figured out the auth problem on one server, but oddly enough i cannot send email from myself to myself. i get a Temporary lookup failure after warning: dict_ldap_lookup: Search error 4: Size limit exceeded
[16:41:18] <rob0> So your LDAP lookup, whatever that might be (my crystal ball doesn't say) is failing. Bad query syntax or problem on the slapd maybe.
[16:41:46] <adj> the query is fine. it just returns two uid's, instead of one
[16:42:13] <thana> shasta: i just don't have a clue. it always says "no pg_hba.conf entry for host x.y.z.a SSL disabled" -- of course it's not, but there is one for SSL enabled :-(
[16:42:40] <rob0> If it should return only one UID, then perhaps it's not fine. :)

[17:10:22] <thana> shasta: i'm sorry, but there aren't :-) it's absolutley correkt
[17:10:59] <shasta> apparently your postgres says something else, I'm not going to argue with that :-P
[17:11:45] <thana> shasta: no it doesn't it says just the truth :)
[17:12:40] <thana> shasta: postfix says in its mail.log:
[17:12:41] <thana> warning: connect to pgsql server <sql-server-domain>: FATAL: kein pg_hba.conf-Eintrag f??r Host <postfix-ip>, Benutzer ??postfix??, Datenbank ??mailsys??, SSL aus?
[17:13:36] <thana> translated to english: "warning connect to pgsql server <...>: no pg_hba.conf-Entry for host <postfix-ip> user postfix, database mailsys, ssl disabled"
[17:13:46] <thana> and thats absoluty correct
[17:13:49] *** rootsvr has quit IRC
[17:13:50] <thana> there is no
[17:15:04] <thana> th pg_hby entry looks like "hostssl mailsys +mailsys <postfix-ip>/32 md5"
[17:15:11] <thana> and postfix is in group mailsys
[17:15:43] <thana> as i said befor: using the same login details like the postfix server from the same host like the postfix-server it works wonderfull
[17:16:29] <shasta> postfix spits out error returned by libpq
[17:16:36] <shasta> I'd still blame postgres :->
[17:16:37] <thana> correct
[17:16:59] <thana> that's nearly impossible
[17:17:20] <thana> i just can't understand why you ignore the fact that using psql it works
[17:17:37] <shasta> you can't get any more from postfix side - no config params for that
[17:17:52] <davidj> thana: What is the exact command line you use with psql?
[17:18:31] <thana> davidj: psql --host <db_host_like_postfix> --user postfix --password --dbname mailsys
[17:18:46] <thana> s/db_host_like_postfix/db_host_like_postfix_use :)
[17:22:27] <davidj> thana: Is <db_host_like_postfix> an IP address or a hostname?
[17:22:39] <thana> davidj: hostname
[17:22:54] <thana> (in both cases)
[17:22:59] <davidj> Is that hostname listed in /etc/hosts?
[17:23:00] *** Sypher has quit IRC
[17:23:13] <thana> davidj: nope
[17:23:46] <davidj> Does that hostname resolve to 127.0.0.1?

[17:25:16] <f3ew> thana was Postfix compiled with SSL support?
[17:25:22] <f3ew> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=332269
[17:25:47] <thana> f3ew: i think so. it depends on the package libpq5 which depends on libssl
[17:28:17] *** lunaphyte_ has joined #postfix
[17:28:23] <thana> shouldn't libpq handle this ssl stuff itself?
[17:28:34] <f3ew> thana, true
[17:28:42] <f3ew> How about the Ubuntu suggestion?
[17:29:08] <thana> f3ew: this says "No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

[17:31:21] <shasta> thana, ldd /usr/lib/libpq.so
[17:31:50] <thana> f3ew: they say it was the default to prefer the SSL connection if no sslmode is given
[17:32:13] <shasta> once again, exactly what I said ;)
[17:32:26] <thana> # ldd /usr/lib/libpq.so.5 linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff3e5fe000) libssl.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 (0x00002aac6c7ab000)

[17:34:54] *** madrescher has joined #postfix
[17:35:27] <donspaulding> like the Received: headers, are they part of the message itself, or does the previous hop just repeat it in between RCPT TO and DATA?

[19:57:12] <the_empty> ChrisC35 - you should do access control on your webmin- that thing is a massive security problem and always has been
[19:58:15] <the_empty> but the bounce backscatter COULD just be spammers using you as the envelope sender without using your server at all... do headers indicate it came form your server?
[19:58:52] <ChrisC35> what do you mean by access control?
[19:59:05] <ChrisC35> I'll look

[20:05:51] <ChrisC35> for <chris at chriscorrigan dot net>; Thu, 15 May 2008 23:43:48 -0700 (PDT)
[20:05:58] <ChrisC35> kermit.webinfuse.com is my server
[20:06:59] <Alfrenovsky> I'm new in postfix, I have a server (not configured by me) with postgrey and when I send a mail, because the other servers are checking via call back and my postfix greylistes all, all my outgoing mails needs a retry
[20:07:18] <ChrisC35> the_empty what did you mean by access control? we have logins for webmin, and they are set to use tne nix accounts
[20:07:22] <rob0> Sounds like classic backscatter from a clueless spam/virus filter, but I don't have time nor inclination to explain everything about how email works.
[20:07:25] <Alfrenovsky> postgrey should not greylist the mails from a null "<>" sender
[20:07:30] <ChrisC35> should I be turning off the webmin server when its not being used
[20:07:51] *** anonymouz666 has joined #postfix
[20:08:25] <Alfrenovsky> How can I set postgrey to not greylist mail from null envelope sender ?
[20:09:00] <Alfrenovsky> rob0, That's for me ?
[20:10:36] <pUmkInhEd> no, that was for chrisc
[20:10:50] <anonymouz666> what else is need by postfix to auth another smtp server? i have configured the smtp_sasl_auth_enable, sasl_password_maps and security_options
[20:10:58] <anonymouz666> it's postfix 2.3
[20:10:59] <rob0> Al, check_sender_access, see "man 5 access".
[20:11:44] *** quieteyes has left #postfix
[20:11:56] <ChrisC35> rob0 I'm suddenly getting tonnes of these bounces though, since last night
[20:12:04] <ChrisC35> to only one of my emails
[20:12:16] <the_empty> ChrisC35, you should limit what IPs can hit webmin. Webmin is terrible software, frankly
[20:12:44] <ChrisC35> is cpanel software in general terrible? or just webmin
[20:12:46] <cpm> quite
[20:13:21] <the_empty> ChrisC35, it all has potential to be terrible but webmin has a track record of it
[20:13:57] <ChrisC35> can you define what you mean by terrible?
[20:14:00] <anonymouz666> sasl_password it's also configured
[20:14:18] <the_empty> it just adds paths for exploitation, especially since a lot of people don't bother to run it over https or with appropriate ip filters
[20:14:48] <the_empty> terrible = in this context, meaning bad.
[20:14:58] *** Alfrenovsky has left #postfix
[20:16:47] *** muecke77 has joined #Postfix
[20:16:51] <ChrisC35> we run it over https
[20:17:04] <ChrisC35> i dont think we've setup the ip filters yet
[20:17:33] <ChrisC35> i was thinking, though, of only starting and stopping the webmin service when I actually use it, which is not very often
[20:17:44] <the_empty> Does anyone know if there's a way to capture the entire smtp conversation on a per-client basis in Postfix?
[20:18:44] <the_empty> ChrisC35, both would be a good idea :)
[20:19:26] <ChrisC35> what can I check regarding this securiuty breach?
[20:20:56] <the_empty> Walk your mail logs and see if you can make sure it was actually a breach, make sure webmin is up to date, make sure it's not some other vector (open relay etc)...

[20:21:27] <ChrisC35> k thanks
[20:29:53] <Gokee2> Hello all, today I woke up to over 200 undelivered, failed or returned msgs in my catchall account. Looking at them they all say they come from users that are not on the server and from diffrent servers (not mine). However they are being delevered with my domain name attached. If there are this many not delevered it makes me wonder how many got through. Is there anything I can do about this? Thanks
[20:30:34] *** lunaphyte_ has quit IRC
[20:30:47] <cpm> not much you can do about that. This is called backscatter. some say that publishing a valid spf record will cut down on this some.
[20:31:09] <cpm> btw, catchalls kinda beg for this.
[20:31:23] <Gokee2> I already have a spf record
[20:31:32] <Gokee2> Hmm why is that?
[20:31:52] *** amrit is now known as amrit|wrk
[20:32:19] <ChrisC35> hehe soudns like what I am asking about too
[20:32:49] <ChrisC35> whats a catchall?

[20:34:50] <ChrisC35> the_empty what cpanel would you reccomend?
[20:35:15] <ChrisC35> I'm actually have been t hinking about just not offering an email service, as its jsut a lot of work and not worth it
[20:35:27] <Motoko-chan> Considering how few server support SPF, it doesn't help at all.
[20:35:34] <ChrisC35> jsut concentrate on my system
[20:36:35] <SteveC> Any good way of killing off all the MAILER-DAEMON items in my queue prematurely?
[20:36:48] <Motoko-chan> And yes, catchall configurations are asking for backscatter and spam.

[20:40:46] <Gokee2> Motoko-chan, I was finding if I did not have one some servers (one big one I think yahoo or msn?) would bounce my mail
[20:41:36] <the_empty> ChrisC35, my favorite admin interface is called ssh
[20:42:10] <Motoko-chan> Gokee2, haven't noticed that.
[20:42:43] <Motoko-chan> SPF would really hurt my customers. Many have to send through their ISP because they are blocked from using our SMTP server.
[20:42:53] <Motoko-chan> Even via SSL.
[20:43:19] <the_empty> Motoko-chan, port 587
[20:43:42] <Motoko-chan> I don't run submission at the moment (stupid qmail is a pain to configure).

[20:47:53] <goudkov> when setting up multiple instances, does inet_interfaces in the additional ones need to be set as a host name not an ip address?

[20:49:09] *** pettersen has left #postfix
[20:52:09] <Gokee2> So that link does not talk about a catchall account but he seems to have a "spamtrap" is this any diffrent then a catchall?
[20:53:45] <Motoko-chan> catchall: An account that recieves mail sent to any possible address on a domain.
[20:54:04] *** blizzow has left #postfix
[20:54:15] <Motoko-chan> Example: you have bob at example dot com set as your catchall. That means it will get e-mail sent to joe at example dot com and even jiojohihioxxj at example dot com
[20:54:25] <Motoko-chan> Assuming those aren't existant accounts.
[20:55:01] <Motoko-chan> spamtrap: Account that has never been given out and doesn't officially exist. The only purpose is to collect spam sent to the domain for various purposes.
[20:56:41] *** halflife has left #postfix
[20:56:59] <Gokee2> So where does it get its spam from?
[20:57:46] *** lunaphyte_ has quit IRC
[20:57:54] <the_empty> spamtraps may also be used in things like usenet postings to obscure your real address- eg emptyPANTS at somedomain dot com (remove pants to reply)
[21:00:19] *** arooni_ has quit IRC
[21:01:30] <Gokee2> Hmm I see
[21:02:11] <Gokee2> So why do spamers like sending mail out from a domain that has a catchall?
[21:04:55] <Dominian> because they can specify anything they want?

[21:29:06] *** UQlev has quit IRC
[21:31:32] <Motoko-chan> Gokee2, basically since if the remote server does an address verify, anything works.
[21:31:45] <Motoko-chan> Also, the big problem is sending mail TO those domains.
[21:32:01] <Motoko-chan> And the fact that some spammers don't care if the address exists and just make them up.
[21:32:10] <Motoko-chan> Problem is with a catchall, you get all the bounces.
[21:32:37] <Motoko-chan> And if the spam is directed at your domain, all the mail being blasted on a dictionary attack of addresses.

[23:07:10] <jpalmer> yes
[23:07:53] <Bert_2> jpalmer: do you know a good guide to SASL as the hunderds of different how-to's and faq make it very difficult to really understand what I need to do ?
[23:08:23] <sysmonk> try reading one, not all

[23:09:26] *** stickystyle has quit IRC
[23:09:42] <sysmonk> configs are mostly backward-compatible, so even if it was written in '99 there'a s big chance it will still work
[23:10:30] <Bert_2> sysmonk: so ignore this: "This HOWTO was written for Postfix 1.x and Cyrus-SASL-1.5.x. With the arrival of Cyrus-SASL-2.x some minor, but important changes were made to configuration options."
[23:10:38] <sysmonk> if you don't like the how-to's, then sure, read this
[23:10:39] <sysmonk> !sasl
[23:10:39] <knoba> sysmonk: "sasl" : SASL is 'Simple Authentication and Security Layer', necessary for SMTP AUTH, and provided to Postfix by addin software. Cyrus SASL and/or Dovecot IMAP/POP3 can provide SASL. See http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html for details.
[23:10:41] <sysmonk> !smtpauth
[23:10:41] <knoba> sysmonk: "smtpauth" : a feature that allows road-warriors (trusted users which are outside your network) to send mail via your mail server. The user needs to send a username and password which allows him/her to relay email. See: http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html
