postfix error

I had same - try this:

Setup email for outbound (1) Postfix

Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf

# commented out line below as no password required for internal mail
#smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/saslpasswd
#also changed following lines:
#broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
#smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = no
#smtp_always_send_ehlo = yes
#smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
#smtp_sasl_security_options =
broken_sasl_auth_clients = no
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = no
smtp_always_send_ehlo = yes
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = no
smtp_sasl_security_options =
relayhost = (your smtp server)
myhostname = your.trixbox.oublic.hostname

when done can issue '/etc/init.d/postfix restart' to restart mail queue and deliver!

i now get the following error

Jul 31 11:05:20 trixbox1 postfix/qmgr[20752]: 37473F3885E: from=, size=21050, nrcpt=1 (queue active)

Jul 31 11:05:21 trixbox1 postfix/master[20750]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtp: bad command startup -- throttling

here is what i did

in trixbox Settings_>general settings - add the mail server and in our case we need to add the port - i.e mail.xxxx.com:587

then run postmap /etc/postfix/saslpasswd

not hard as long as you get the settings in trixbox General settings correct. just remember if you change something in the general settings you have to rerun postmap

I still cannot get the postfix to email at all. Here are a couple of files:
[trixbox1.xxxxxxx.com ~]# nano -w /etc/postfix/main.cf

I have tried all I can think of.

bksales Solution worked for me. Thanks.

Also, do not set your FQDN to the same domain as your email address. Example: if you are trying to send voicemail to your email address of bob@mac.com, do not set your FQDN to mac.com.

I struggled to get trixbox to relay through Exchange Server 2007 - I've got it working and I've written up the result at http://alasdaircs.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!DEC5E544601A7A3D!194.entry

Hopefully this will help someone.

If you're using postfix, try the following to configure your SMTP client if you can't get it working any other way:

postconf -e 'relayhost = smtp.example.com'
postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes'
postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd'
postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_security_options ='
echo "smtp.example.com   someuser:howtoforge" > /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
chown root:root /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
service postfix restart

I've tested and used this method before, and it works great.
