These are the Apple-specific options for the Postfix main.cf configuration file:

  • enable_server_options

    Valid options: yes, no
    Set this value to yes if you have set email auto-forwarding for any users who would normally receive mail locally via Work Group Manager.

  • smtpd_use_pw_server

    Valid options: yes, no
    Set to yes if using Password Server, otherwise standard open source SASL authentication is used.

  • smtpd_pw_server_security_options

    Valid options (one or more): login, plain, cram-md5, gssapi
    Set this option to the desired authentication method(s) you wish to enable for authenticated SMPT relay.  This option is used in conjunction with smtpd_use_pw_server  and is ignored if smtpd_use_pw_server is set to “no�?.
