Except that this is more the test case for /receiving/ mail :-) |
| 25 |
But yes, looking at the mail server's configuration, this is most |
| 26 |
likely the more interesting test case. Sending, after all, should just |
| 27 |
work fine with almost any mail server... |

Since OP did set up with SASL, it might also be interesting whether |
| 30 |
non-local originating mail is blocked for relay (test case: Send a mail |
| 31 |
with the server's mail domain address -- somebody@××××××××.com -- to |
| 32 |
some other server out there from a computer not in the trusted address |
| 33 |
range) and if that can be cured by proper authentication. But the OP |
| 34 |
didn't mention setting up SASL by any means. It'll probably work using |
| 35 |
PAM out-of-the-box. |
