Feature-Request: SMTP-auth for smarthost

[drdebian]

My smarthost requires SMTP-auth for accepting any mail, even from local LAN. It would be great if authentication info could be added to the smarthost entry somehow.

Totally agree. We are working on it.

Totally agree. We are working on it.

Is there any way to patch this into the current/next release? It's one of the few things holding me back from rolling out eBox in a lot of locations.

Ok, here we go, this is what you have to do if your relay host supports TLS:

Edit /usr/share/ebox/stubs/mail/main.cf.mas. Look for this line:

Code: [Select]

relayhost = <% $relay %>

Right after this line you must add:

Code: [Select]

smtp_use_tls = yes
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/smtp_pass
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous

Now you have to create a file called:

Code: [Select]

/etc/postfix/smtp_pass

And its content must be:

Code: [Select]

yourelayhost user:password

Now you have to run the follwing command:

Code: [Select]

sudo postmap /etc/postfix/smtp_pass

Final step, restarting postfix:

Code: [Select]

sudo /etc/init.d/ebox postfix restart

Thanks, I'll try that!
