Greetings,
     I am "lucky" enough to have an ISP that blocks outbound port 25
traffic.  Fortunately, inbound is wide open.  However, I am not able to
configure Postfix 2.1.5 to successfully use my ISP mail server as a
relayhost.  I get a reply in my logs that states:
 
warning: SASL authentication failure: No worthy mechs found
Authentication failed: cannot SASL authenticate to server
smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com[68.142.229.41]: no mechanism available
 
 
I've edited main.cf and added the following:
 
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/saslpass
smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = plain, login
smtp_sasl_security_options =
 
I've updated my password file "saslpass" to contain :
[smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com] login:password
 
and ran postmap hash:/etc/postfix/saslpass
 
And I've run postfix reload... Oh, I also crossed my fingers that didn't
seem to help either :-)

Is SASL able to log into an smtp server like outlook does to send email?
Or is there another solution I need to pursue?  The good news is that
inbound mail works great!
 
Thank you for your help
 
Sean
