Hi,
I am attempting to setup Postfix to send MDADM alerts to my email address in Ubuntu Server 8.04. However, I am having trouble setting up Postfix to do this. I am trying to send the email through the SMTP server of my web hosting company (1and1.com). To do this, I have set the 'relayhost' directive in Postfix's main.cf file. The server requires authentication, and must be connected on port 587. I believe I have set these as well.
I have tried sending mail from MDADM
sudo mdadm -F /dev/md0 -m patrick@xxxxxx.net -t -1
as well as from mutt, and get the same response:
Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; unknown user: "patrick"
I notice in the mail.log, postfix indicates that the relay=local. shouldnt this be 1and1.com? Does anyone have any suggestions of things I can try? I have been going over the manual for Postfix for several hours, but for a n00b like myself, it is hard to comprehend.
I have attached the full text of some of the important files below. Let me know if more information is required.
