I've been spending downtime at work trying to get pop-before-smtp working on my gentoo box at home. Squirrelmail works fine, as does ssh'ing in and using mutt, so this is more of a just really-starting-to-piss-me-off thing. I would like to be able to use my Mozilla mail client to send email through my home server. The IMAP logs in fine and I can read and filter messages with no problem. If I telnet port 25 it seems to work: | Code: | Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to domain.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 domain.com ESMTP Postfix
EHLO domain.com
250-domain.com
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-XVERP
250 8BITMIME
quit
221 Bye

pop-before-smtp seems to be doing what it should, and I have correct entries in /etc/postfix/pop-before-smtp on the home system (grabbed from my /var/log/mail/current file).
My postfix/main.cf looks like this:
| Code: | queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
mail_owner = postfix
myorigin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain $mydomain
alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
home_mailbox = .maildir/
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail
#These 4 lines are from the pop-before-smtp instructions
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks,
check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/pop-before-smtp,
check_relay_domains
local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10
debug_peer_level = 2
debugger_command =
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5 |
Anyone have a clue where my problem is? For what it's worth, mozilla is set up with the smtp server looking at domain.com and port 25 and the error I get when trying to send something is | Code: | Sending of message failed.
An error occurred sending mail: Unable to connect to SMTP server %S. The server may be down or may be incorrectly configured. Please verify that your Mail/News account settings are correct and try again.[quote]
Thanks for any suggestions.[/quote] |

This is just a follow-up to my above posting. It turns out that my system was configured fine and it was just some problem with Mozilla. I reinstalled Mozilla and it worked fine.
So, if anyone is looking to use their server as a smtp server with roaming users (IP changing), the pop-before-smtp in C app works great. |
