Hi all,<br>
<br>
I've been a long time lurker and need a shove in the right direction.<br>
<br>
I've been getting my email on Ubuntu box for a while, Fetch gets the mail and postfix sends it out, Recently Comcast has been forcing me to use the 587 port for sending mail. and I'm at a loss on how to get it to work in postfix. I can't even send mail to a 3rd part mailhost, so they have locked me out of port 25.<br>
<br>
Has anyone else had this problem and solved it and can point me in the correct direction, this has been driving me crazy.<br>
<br>
Thanks!!<br>
<br>
Chuck Keeter<br>

<br>
Edit your /etc/postfix/main.cf file. Find the relayhost directive.
Set that to your ISP's outgoing SMTP server. Postfix will then send
all outgoing mail through your ISP, instead of trying to deliver it
directly.<br>
<br>
However, since Comcast is far from a *normal* ISP... <br>
<br>
1. You will need to have Postfix send out on port 587. Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf:<br>
<br>
relayhost = [<a href="http://smtp.comcast.net" target="_blank">smtp.comcast.net</a>]:587<br>
<br>
2. You will need to use SMTP Authentication to authenticate with Comcast's SMTP server.<br>

Hope this helps.<br>
