    echo smtp.mtrgt.net USERNAME:PASSWORD > opt/zimbra/conf/relay_password
  3. Create a postfix Look-Up table as follows:

    postmap /opt/zimbra/conf/relay_password
  4. To check that the table has been created correctly, please start the command below. It should return USERNAME:PASSWORD

    postmap -q smtp.mtrgt.net /opt/zimbra/conf/relay_password
  5. Configure postfix to use the new password map, the SSL authentication and the outgoing server name by starting the three commands below:

    zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraMtaSmtpSaslPasswordMaps lmdb:/opt/zimbra/conf/relay_password

    zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraMtaSmtpSaslAuthEnable yes
