After emerge -u system: imap/ssh can't connect to server.

Hello!

I'm a little new and setting up and maintaining my email server. Have had it up for awhile..using postfix, sasl, imap. I've used the thread https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=56633&highlight=email+postfix for setting it up with the exception of not using fetchmail and not forwarding through my ISP's email server...I've got a domain name, MX record...so am an independant email server.

I did an emerge -u system the other day...and thought I was quite careful to not overwrite anything pertaining to my sasl...ca certs...etc.

However, all of a sudden...none of my email client, Kmail...can't connect. It says unable to authenticate via PLAIN.

I looked at my log file and it gave me this:

Feb 29 21:27:15 [imapd-ssl] LOGOUT, user= myusername, ip=[192.168.0.106], headers=0, body=736260
Feb 29 21:28:17 [imapd-ssl] Connection, ip=[192.168.0.xxx]

Feb 29 21:28:45 [imapd-ssl] Unexpected SSL connection shutdown.
Feb 29 21:28:55 [imapd-ssl] Connection, ip=[192.168.0.xxx]

Feb 29 21:29:00 [imapd-ssl] Unexpected SSL connection shutdown.
Feb 29 21:29:10 [postfix/smtpd] starting TLS engine

Username and ip address edited.

Could something in the update changed...and I need to look at a diff. config? I started and stoped the courier-imapd-ssl daemon...but, same error.

You didn't happen to upgrade openssl in your latest emerge system did you? I'm guessing it's the openssl upgrade that is causing the issue.

emerge -s openssl
If it it says you've got 0.9.7c installed your TLS is probably broken becuase it's linked against 0.9.6k.

You'll need to run revdep-rebuild which IIRC is part of gentoolkit. Or you can just re-emerge courier-imap, which is going to be faster for the moment.

I haven't seen this type of error yet personally, but it's a good guess that it's the culprit.

Yea, that last portage update farked up ssh good. I'm having the same ssh problems, as well.

A re-emerge of openssh fixed it on one of my boxen, I have another with the problem still. Will post back if I fond a better solution.

Ok...the box I originally posted this on...never solved.

But, started install on a fresh box...postfix, courier-imap, ssl...followed the virtual host email howto.

It is up and running. I can connect to it locally, send email, read email fine.

However, when I try to connect to it with Kmail, I get:

imapd-ssl: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[192.168.0.x]
imapd-ssl: Unexpected SSL connection shutdown.

I've double and triple checked all config files..cannot figure this one out..

Any ideas out there?
