Thanks Dave, I followed your advice and have postfix sending mail for me.
This article helped a ton:
Any advice on setting up security to prevent an open relay on my server?
Thanks,

In order to relay through a mail server, you either need to be sending
mail to someone on that server, or have authorization.
There are thousands of posts on setting up Postfix for relaying.
Basically, you need to “sign in” to the mail server you want to use using
some kind of authentication protocol. This will depend largely on the
configuration of the server.
Since you are running PostFix, you can skip that step altogether and set
up Postfix to send mail out directly to the recipient. This would probably
be much easier in the long run. Just be sure to set up your own security
so that no one can use you as an open relay.

Hi all,
If you recall (you probably don’t) I was attempting to use msmtp to send
mail with my new RT 4.0.5 install. I have since abandoned those efforts and
am now attempting to use Postfix to do so. Fetchmail is working fine, and
I’ve followed the steps outlined in several install guides for setting up
postfix to send mail (I can post my main.cf file for reference if
requested).
I am getting much further with Postfix already, but am still unable to
send mail. When I look in /var/log/syslog I see the following after
attempting to send a test message:
May 20 06:35:08 Galactica postfix/smtp[14385]: C9F539019A: to=<

smtp.mailanyone.net[72.35.23.195] said: 550 relay not permitted (in reply
to RCPT TO command))
Any ideas? I’m at a loss here.
Thanks,
Scott
