I am building a mail server using Postfix, and set up the authentication to check against a database set-up using Postfixadmin.

I can authenticate via Courier IMAP okay, as it can authenticate against the hashed password properly, but I am suspecting that my SASL + PAM-MySQL SMTP authentication mechanism cannot.

I am getting these errors in /var/log/mail.log:

We currently use Google Apps for receiving emails on our domain. We would like to send all mail to unknown addresses to our Mailgun server for further processing. This seems like a typical "split delivery" case.

What am I doing wrong! 11 weeks 2 days ago

Here are my issues:

I can't send MMS/text messages to an e-mail address, i. e., from my phone to XXXXXXXXXX@gmail.com, for example. If I am logged in to Google (and I don't want to stay logged in), I am able to send from my phone to my wife's phone (Straight Talk). I can't find the proper APN to get it to work. I can answer/send to phone numbers with no problem.

Smtp server recomendation 11 weeks 5 days ago

I have a documentation program that needs to send mails to users. In order to do this it needs to use an smtp server. We have access to our internet providers smtp server. However that server requires password authentication. The documentation system does not have the ability to use this as there is no way for it to provide the password.

I am building a web application with email notification just like Facebook, which will host in http://www.linode.com/. When a user A comment to a post, the poster will get an email notification from 'no-reply@mydomain.com' with the comment message written by user A.
