Regarding the common name, I have followed your instructions for building and configuring the mail server components (Postfix, et al), but I’m a little unsure of what the mail server name would be on my machine.

could you give me some guidance on figuring out what the name would be to enter there for the common name?

Thanks!

No, it would break the RFC.

Its only really useful on private Intranets, where you know everything about all the mail servers.

With

smtpd_enforce_tls = no

Set as per your instructions above, the response from the server was:

250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-ETRN
250-STARTTLS
250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN
250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN
250-8BITMIME

Am i right in saying that smtpd_enforce_tls should be set to YES?
