Ok. You might try to use a smarthost, that's the outgoing smtp
server of your company.
/etc/postfix/main.cf should look like this
myorigin=yourdomain.com
relayhost=smtp.of.yourdomain.com
#inet_interfaces=loopback-only
local_transport=error: disabled
And then
service postfix reload
If you need authentification (e.g. username + password) append the
following additional lines into main.cf
smtp_sasl_auth_enable=yes
smtp_sasl_security_options=noanonymous
# see
#smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter=plain
#debug_peer_list=smtp.of.yourdomain.com
#debug_peer_level=3
#smtp_use_tls=yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps=hash:/etc/postfix/relay_password
Write the following line in /etc/postfix/relay_password
smtp.of.yourdomain.com username:password
Create the database with
postmap /etc/postfix/relay_password
the debug options might help you if there is some trouble sending mail
(log file). Always check the postfix queue with
postqueue -p
and your mailserver log
/var/log/maillog
Note: For authentication you probably need the cyrus-sasl and
cyrus-sasl-* packages.
