Sure. Asterisk *never* authenticates. In fact, Asterisk does not handle SMTP in the first place. The MTA does. The MTA may be sendmail, postfix, or even a non-queing "MTA" like ssmtp. Your question is not an Asterisk question. > Well, these days every provider has some sort of spam blocking, to add to > that usually users of asterisk are behid a dynamic IP with no PTR and list > grows depending on what target mail server requirements are. > Base on these facts i came to conclusion of setting up local MTA to relay > emails trough another mail server (another mail server beeing their ISP mail > server), i dont have very good results with sendmail/procmail and SASL, its > inconsitance, works with some provider not all... > I was wonderin what do you guys use for your asterisk boxes? procmail is used for delivery to a mailbox. Not for sending. I specifically prefer postfix to sendmail. But that is a matter of taste... For postfix, see http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html and also specifically http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html and http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html . The latter is not well-written, though. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tzafrir _______________________________________________ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!
