Re: User without password

How about set a long and complex password for it?

Re: User without password

There are only fields for entering:

Default To Email Address:
From Email Address:
From Domain Name:
SMTP Server IP Address:
Email Threshold (per minute):

...and no place to enter the password.

Re: User without password

Create in directory /etc/postfix a text file, for example "accept_unauth", with content like this:

my-unautheticated-user@mydomain.com     OK

First column is the email address, second is the word "OK".

Compile it using postmap, for example

postmap hash:accept_unauth

Add it to your main.cf and restart Postfix:

smtpd_sender_restrictions =
        permit_mynetworks,
        permit_sasl_authenticated,
        check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/accept_unauth,
        .....

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
        check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/accept_unauth,
       .....

This should permit SMTP from "my-unautheticated-user@mydomain.com" without login. I'm using it myself, but it might depend on your config.
