This is telling Postfix to use a GMAIL SMTP server with Simple Authentication and Security Layer ( SASL). # Enable Transport Layer Security (TLS), i.e. Smtp_sasl_password_maps=hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd # Enable SASL authentication in the Postfix SMTP client. Now add the following lines at the very end of the file: Open a terminal and edit the file main.cf sudo vi /etc/postfix/main.cfįirst check Postfix is configured correctly, look for the following lines (They are probably separated):
If you are using windows, you may want to try this approach. This tutorial is about how to configure Postfix for Mac OS X. As I said, this is a quick workaround for testing purposes but if security is a requirement, you must buy yourself a certificate at Thawte or Verisign, or create your own one. That can be easily done using an external Mail client (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo… ETC) and Postfix, which is the standard email server installed by default in Mac OS X (At least in the latest versions). Sometimes we may need to send mails from localhost for testing purposes.
