Can't get smtp auth to work for outbound.mailhop.org

[budy]

Hi all,

I am trying to setup smtp auth for my external relay outbound.mailhop.org. I have configured everyting according to the wiki and almost all other sources I could be able to dig up.

postfix is indeed trying to connect to outbound.mailhop.org, but it seems that is misses the SMTP AUTH option and skips directly from EHLO to MAIL FROM.

The relvant bits from the main.cf seem to be these:

smtp_cname_overrides_servername = no
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/opt/zimbra/conf/relay_password
smtp_sasl_security_options =
relayhost = outbound.mailhop.org

The relay_password is also setup:

postmap -q outbound.mailhop.org /opt/zimbra/conf/relay_password
obviously:bogus


This is from the maillog, when postfix log:

Jan 5 22:25:22 zimbra postfix/smtp[14820]: < outbound.mailhop.org[204.13.248.71]:25: 250-SIZE 52428800

Jan 5 22:25:22 zimbra postfix/smtp[14820]: > outbound.mailhop.org[204.13.248.71]:25: MAIL FROM:<budy@stephanbudach.de>

Any help is greatly appreciated,

The anly article you'll need to follow is this one: Outgoing SMTP Authentication - Zimbra :: Wiki

Please follow the instructions in that article only. When you've done that and if you're still having problems then post again with all the commands you've entered and their settings and responses. You will also need to know which port your relay server uses and which authentication mechanism it's using - post details of those as well.
