I was trying
to set up a mail server with no luck. I want it
to accept mail from authenticated users only and deliver them. I want the users
to be able
to connect over the internet. Ideally the mail server wouldn't accept any incoming mail. Essentially I want it
to accept messages on a receiving port and transfer them
to the intended recipient out port 25.
If anyone has some good links and guides that would be awesome. I am quite familiar with linux but have never played around with MTA's and am currently running debian 6.
More Specific Problem!
Sorry, that was general and postfix is complex.
I am having trouble enabling the submission port with encryption and authentication.
What Works:
Sending mail from the local machine. (sendmail
[email protected]).
Ports are open. (25 and 587)
Connecting
to 587 appears
to work, I get a "need
to starttls" warning and starttls appears
to work.
But when I try
to connect with the next command I get the error below.
# openssl s_client -connect localhost:587 -starttls smtp
CONNECTED(00000003)
