With this configuration if you are not listed in mynetworks, you can't send any mail.
Add smtp auth with sasl linked to the mysql database.

/etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf :

pwcheck_method: auxprop 
auxprop_plugin: sql 
allowanonymouslogin: no 
allowplaintext: yes 
mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN 
password_format: clear 
sql_user: mailsql 
sql_passwd: $password
sql_hostnames: localhost 
sql_database: mailsql 
sql_select: SELECT clear FROM users WHERE email = '%u@%r' 
#log_level: 10 
#sql_verbose: yes

(sorry for my bad english)

Reproducible: Always

CCing the net-mail team.

Folks, is this something we need to add to the guide?

Then you could also provide configuration backends for ldap/krb5/postgresql and i don't think it's good idea. As far as i understand your provide basic setup, not every custom.

mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
pwcheck_method: saslauth

should be enough. mynetworks is the other story.

Err, please discard this. I misread the subject of this doc.

Sorry, but we need something that's a bit more clear. If you could provide a paragraph or two that explains the configuration, we can add it to the guide. You also need to state exactly what and where your changes should go, and at what point in the configuration process.
