Talk:SMTP Port 587

From DreamHost

This page is the top listing returned when a new (e-mail) user follows the search link provided in the welcome e-mail:

[yadayada 12345678] DreamHost Mail Account Activated

...

To see a partial list of such ISPs, visit:

http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Special:Search?fulltext=Search&search=port%20587

...

However, there is no "partial list of such ISPs" here

Suggestions?

ok, newbie fix: editing this page now, but I recommend DH needs to fix their welcome e-mail to direct the user to:

smtp_sasl_security_options =

then:

mkdir /etc/postfix/sasl

and put the followin in /etc/postfix/sasl/passwd:
