setting up a mailserver on my spare ubuntu box

set up my postfix and mysql mailserver using the following link http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/

needed to modify the setup of postfix to authenticate against my ISPs smtp server .. byd doing this ...

Added the following settings to /etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options =

Create /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd as follows:
my.mail.relay.net username:password

Because the password is in cleartext make it root only:
# chown root:root /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd && chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

Create the hash file:
# postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

Make the hash file world readable:
# chmod 644 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

Reload the Postfix config:
# /etc/init.d/postfix reload

New drink, new music, Mets lose it all

Went pickin' apples with the kids. Listened to some of the Mets last debacle of the year, got most of my updates via txt msg. Came home and tried a new beer Boont Amber Ale some folks are raving about it on the site, my distributor also recommended ... I'm going to hold judgement until the whole 6 is gone... Downloaded some tunes from two new bands to listen to tomorrow.

Avery India Pale Ale

Avery India Pale Ale brewed in Boulder, Colorado ... a malty nose and a hoppy finish. good stuff, recommended today by my buddy at the beverage center.
