Re: smtp authentication failure



i'm jumping in on this, as I have a similiar problem... using the postconf -n, I think i see my problem...... the mydomain_fallback is localhost, as is myhostname.

in checking the mailq it appears my mail is trying to go out with a email@hiddenhost sender address.

(i'm trying to use php mail to send out mail..... from a moodle installation)

so I guess what I need to know, is how to change the config of postfix to put my real server info in, rather than localhost.

Thanks.

Type the command postconf -n and post the results here.

Also, did you make any changes to the configuration, any custom edits of main.cf, just prior to these problems showing up. If yes, what?
