Hello Everybody!
I am trying to do what I thought would be a plain-vanilla, easy-as-pie, setup for Postfix.
I have a system running Ubuntu 10.0.4.1, that is running as my network's main file store, and because of this I want to get "logwatch" logs e-mailed to my regular http://charter.net e-mail account.
As noted in another posting - since I have a residential dynamic IP assigned, any attempts by me to set up something like a standard SENDMAIL setup is doomed to failure.
So, I set up a brand-new installation of Ubuntu 10.0.4.1, installed logwatch, and configured postfix using the instructions given HERE. Including all the steps to set up certs with open SSL. Nothing worked. So, I tried the workaround given by the poster HERE, by omitting the port number in the sasl_passwd file.
The result of all this is that I am getting authentication errors as if my certificates are bogus.
Viz: (from the log "mail info")
Oct 2 13:22:52 Storage3 postfix/smtp[15926]: certificate verification failed for http://outbound.mailhop.org[204.13.248.71]:2525: untrusted issuer /C=US/O=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority
Oct 2 13:22:52 Storage3 postfix/smtp[15926]: 5AF05121F63: to=<root@vgorilla.com>, relay=outbound.mailhop.org[204.13.248.71]:2525, delay=0.29, delays=0.07/0/0.2/0.02, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host http://outbound.mailhop.org[204.13.248.71] said: 550 You must authenticate to use MailHop Outbound (in reply to MAIL FROM command))
I tried this both ways, with and without the port number.
Eventually, I ended up by just stopping postfix, and renaming http://main.cf so that it cannot restart automagically.
I am at a loss. Sendmail seemed to be easier. . . Is there a way to try this without SSL so that I can verify my basic config is correct before I start playing with the encryption stuff?
Here is an abstract of my mail log showing two attempts to get this beast working.

First, start with sasl_password showing "outbound.mailhop.org" w/o "2525"

==========================
Postfix stopped and http://main.cf file renamed to prevent it from re-starting with bogus config.
==========================
Any help would be gratefully appreciated!
Thanks!
