postfix 5.7.1 Relay access denied when sending mail with cron
- by zensys
Reluctant to ask because there is so much here about 'postfix relay access denied' but I cannot find my case:
I use php (Zend Framework) to send emails outside my network using the Google mail server because I could not send mail outside my server (user: web). However when I sent out an email via cron (user: root, I believe), still using ZF, using the same mail config/credentials, I get the message: '5.7.1 Relay access denied'
I guess I need to know one of two things:
1. How can I use the google smtp server from cron
2. What do I need to change in my config to send mail using my own server instead of google
Though the answer to 2. is the more structural solution I assume, I am quite happy with an answer to 1. as well because I think Google is better at server maintaince (security/spam) than I am.
