now any ideas on what i can do to get this fixeD? changing ISPs is not an answer.

You need to set up client-side TLS with authentication. You'll need to customize at least /opt/zimbra/postfix/main.cf.

One concise guide is postfix @ michael-prokop.at

Changes to Zimbra's postfix/main.cf will be lost at every incremental upgrade. It might be easier to tell Zimbra to relay to another SMTP listener on your network, which in turn authenticates to your ISP.

There's also another article in the wiki.

I assume that was addressed to me.

There's no reason why it should not work. What are the exact steps you've followed to get this working? Please give a detailed list the steps you've taken.

Please don't post duplicate messages when you've already got a thread on on the subject.

sorry Phoniex i am just raelly annonyed atm.. Beta 5.0+ was working great.. til lthey switch there smtp stuff over to smtp.gmail.com...

i got it work actually.. .it was the port my isp gave me was the probably.. they told me to use port 465... and after reading the updated wiki link u gave me.. i changed it to port 587 and added that line to my postfix file and it worked

sorry for being a patienceless fool

[phoenix]

That's OK, I can understand the frustration.

Actually they shouldn't have given you port 465 as that for legacy applications to submit mail, as far as I know it's been deprecated. The correct submissions port is 587 as per the RFC. Anyway, glad you've got it working.

phoenix is it possible to remove the annoying gmail me tag from the "FROM" field ??

for example... my isp email service is called mail.tt ..

and now that they on gmail.. i get this tag in my from field
"Chapmans Storage (chapmans@mail.tt)" ? I had to set my reply to address to get it to reply from my sending address..

[phoenix]

You should be able to do that in the Preferences/Accounts tab, check in there and change it. See if that fixes it.
