    Hello.

    I'd like to help! ... not a clue if this fits your requirements or
    whether it is indeed helpful. (Its meant to be my benefit to the
    group, rather of awaiting replies to my own inquiries ...)

    I use following setup in postfix, which I think is much greater then
    exim. (exim and ppp/dialin gave me too much problem I could not cope,
    also postfix's much easier to setup!)

    ----- main.cf ---------

    [...]
    mydestination = csav-3, localhost.localdomain, localhost
    [...]

    append_dot_mydomain = no

    relayhost = smtp.mailhost.net ## any smtp host
    defer_transports = smtp
    disable_dns_lookups = yes
    sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical

    smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
    smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
    smtp_sasl_security_options =

    ---- canonicals only entry: ---

    #user email
    gerd speednet@world.net

    ---- last but not least: /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd (only one line) ---

    ## a bit confused: whole email as passwd like gmx must have / could be
       also somekind of alphanumerical one, for instance "passwd123"

    smtp.mailhost.net speednet@world.net:fit9084

    that's it!

    you have to rehash the canonical and sas_passwd to have them as true
    databases workable for postfix.

    "postmap [filename]" will do the job. Please I am not sure, if you
    would ever get to this point beg one else to answer this (long ago I
    set this up, i forgot)

    best regards,
    alex
