Hi,
I'm using PVE 7.1-12. The host is under NAT, so I think I need to use a relay for email notifications. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with Postfix.
In order to configure my email notifications I have tried different combinations of every configuration I have found in the forum and abroad, with no success. So here I am asking for help.
These are the client configuration instructions of my email provider:
Outgoing mail server: SMTP: mail.mymailprovider.net, port 465 (TLS) or port 587 (STARTTLS).
Login or user name: only user without domain
Note: Don’t enable secure passwords or secure authentication.
This is my current configuration:
root@mypvehost:/# cat /etc/postfix/main.cf
root@mypvehost:/# cat /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
Now I do
root@mypvehost:/# postmap hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
root@mypvehost:/# systemctl restart postfix[/CODE]
I test it
root@mypvehost:/# echo "test" | mail -s "tset" bea@mymailprovider.net
while checking the logs
root@mypvehost:~# tail -f /var/log/mail.info
Please help!
Thank you.
