 Posted: Fri Oct 22, 2004 1:41 pm Post subject: postfix remote authentication (solved) |
 |
|
Hello, i have setup a mailserver using fetchmail and postfix to retrieve mail from ISP and deliver it via courier imap to local users.
Mail is sent via ISP smtp using relay setting in postfix main.cf.
Now if setup an imap account and access it locally on server i can send and recieve mail ok, but if i setup outlook on network PC i can recieve email ok but cannot send, the connection keeps being refused.
Not sure if this is related but even with password saved in outlook each time outlook is started password has to be entered again.
Logs don't show anything un-usually, though there is a problem writing to /tmp/procmail_log
cheers

I suspect that Postfix might be running on just localhost and not on the external IP. Do a netstat -ptln to see which IP Postfix is bound to. If this is the case you'll want to check your inet_interfaces setting in /etc/postfix/main.cf

Neither of these work, i get this for localhost error:
| Code: |
The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'isabella@mydomain.com', Server: 'smaartmail.mydomain.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
|
and this error when set to server IP
| Code: |
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Subject 'gsnat response 3.2', Account: 'isabella@mydomain.com', Server: 'smaartmail.mydomain.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
|
If i set outlook to use ssl for smtp i get this error
| Code: |
The server does not support a SSL connection. Account: 'isabella@mydomain.com', Server: 'smaartmail.mydoman.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '250 8BITMIME', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 250, Error Number: 0x800CCC7D

ok seen the error, it it was netmask error should have been
mynetworks = 192.168.1.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8
not
mynetworks = 192.168.1.0/255, 127.0.0.0/8

You might want to change it to:
inet_interfaces = all
Postfix should always run on localhost or things like cron and the like can have issues.

I found i had issues with just IP address or localhost, one would allow smtp but not imap and vice verser so ended up putting
inet_interfaces = localhost, 192.168.1.2
