How can I configure postfix smtp per user?

linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I have previously used msmtp as my MDA. msmtp has a configuration file with username and password of the outgoing smtp server (eg gmail) stored in my home directory. I've recently changed distributions to CentOS 6.3 for reasons of support (only supported distribution for third party software). I tried to install msmtp but it wasn't available in any of the repositories. I finally got an rpm from fedora and installed that but it still doesn't work (can't find ca-certificates). So I decided I'd try with Postfix as it's the default on RHEL. What I'm trying to do is set up sendmail (git and mutt) (HowTos)

here is my .msmtprc :

defaults account gmail host smtp.gmail.com from yy@gmail.com port 587 auth on tls on tls_starttls on tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

user yy@gmail.com password xxxxxxxx logfile ~/.msmtp.log account default:gmail

here is my /etc/Muttrc set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp" set use_from=yes set realname="xxxx" set from="yy@gm

Re the wiki entry on setting up mutt with Gmail IMAP. To get this working, I don't need fetchmail or msmtp (or some other smtp program)? mutt connects directly via IMAP and SMTP? I'm asking because there is what appears to be a much more complicated guide here.The wiki is referenced on SuperUser here.

I've set up mutt+msmtp to handle my mail (mutt is awesome, by the way. I highly recommend it, unless you're overtly fond of GUIs), and I cannot send mail. I use tor by way of iptables, using a NAT rule to force all tcp traffic through tor and a setup with dnsmasq for DNS through tor. Whether I'm being too paranoid is beside the question.

configuring ssmtp for gmail 3 years 13 weeks ago

Hello Community,

I have installed ssmtp.

I have configured the ssmtp.conf file as follows:

_____________________________________

# A system wide configuration is optional. # If it exists, it usually defines a default account. # This allows msmtp o be used like /usr/sbin/sendmail.

You need a cetificate to authentificate to gmail server.#imap.gmail.com certificate to ensure to connect to Gmail cert_fingerprint = 6d1b5b5ee0180ab493b71d3b94534b5ab937d042I use offlineimap to fetch mails.To send, I use msmtp, and need a valid sertificate too:tls_trust_file /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.crtAnd the adress is : smtp.gmail.com:587Not sure your server

postfix outgoing mails 3 years 22 weeks ago

hi all guys ,i installed postfix to use my own mail server ther is no problem incoming mails but when i tried to send mail anyone postfix can not deliver the mail

this is looping part of "mail.log" file

Code: Dec 13 03:25:44 ubuntu postfix/smtp[7979]: fatal: specify a password table via the `smtp_sasl_password_maps' configuration parameter

I have had some trouble with getting cron to send emails. My ISP requires that the "From:" field match the email address the email is being sent from, otherwise the email is rejected. As cron hardcodes the "From:" field to "root (Cron Daemon)", these emails are not being sent.

I have set up msmtp and can send emails with no problem from the command line.

I am configuring ~/.msmtprc as below :--

account yahoo host smtp.mail.yahoo.com port 465 tls on tls_certcheck off tls_starttls off auth on from imarunsinghal@yahoo.in user imarunsinghal@yahoo.in password passwd

And using following command as below :-- cat << EOF | msmtp -a yahoo imarunsinghal@gmail.com -C ~/.msmtprc Subject:test good EOF

I am able to send mail using yahoo account.
