Postfix sending works in mail.app but not in entourage in OS X?

Hi

I have setup postfix on my Mac OS X 10.3 using Postfix Enabler. I can
send mail from the mac mail app via 127.0.0.1, so I know postfix
works, but I can't seem to send it from Entourage - it always seems to
try the server instead...

This works fine on my other machine - I just can't see what the
difference is - what am I missing?!?

TIA

I don't know why it doesn't work for you, it works fine for me, and several
other PowerBook users I know.

You have to set 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' in the SMTP server setting for
each account in entourage - there is no global SMTP server entry.

Also (depending on how you have configured PostFix), make sure that you have
unchecked the authenticated SMTP in the 'advanced sending options' for those
accounts. Postfix, in the default setup, does not use authentication.
