postfix loses SMTP connection after HELO


I receive this message in the info log for my Postfix server when it tries to relay through my ISP's smtp server

I have postfix configured to use sasl auth to connect to the server

here is the message

lost connection with smtp.isp.net[ip address] while sending HELO

Any ideas?

Does your ISPs mail server support SASL?

If not, this would explain the problem as the HELO is the first thing it sends after establishing a connection.

Sincerely

I have sasl enabled.
I telneted to the server and I figured out that you have to check your pop account before sending through smtp.

I'm still working on finding a way to do this. Any ideas?

Figure out how long you have after doing a POP3 authentication before you have to do the SMTP send. Then install fetchmail and have it poll you POP3 account slightly more often.

Hope this helps.
