Email is not sent because of failed authentication

[volodya123]

Hi, first of all many thanks for the EFA project!

I used it for a one week and spam is dramatically decrease on the mail-server.
In according today's statistics 76% of emails detected as a SPAM. Excellent result!

However, I nave a question: can use local user(s) account(s) in E.F.A for SMTP authentication and sending e-mails through it?

In details, my mail-server is placed in data-center and I set EFA: Mail Settings -> Outbound Mail Relay -> Hosts: 62.140.253.XXX/29 (my office network) and office's mail-client programs can send e-mails
Nevertheless, some other clients (mobile etc.) not from office network can't send e-mails and receive an authentication error from EFA,
so can I create a user/password in EFA for authentication and sending e-mail?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can. What you need is to set up SASL authentication and submission in postfix.

Are you using Active Directory? Where are you user accounts stored?

Hi stusmith!

No, I am not using M$ AD for storing user's accounts.)
I use old Centos release 5.4 + postfix + cyrus and user's accounts are stored in LDAP

well, I don't want to integrate E.F.A with my LDAP server
I just want to create a few (5 or 10) user's accounts on E.F.A localy to send through it e-mails from mobile (smartphones, Pads etc) users.

Is it possible?
