I checked. everything is right at outlook but i dont know why "moderator@messegiti$" is written in log file. I cannot send mail by using not only this account but also all account and all account settings are right at outlook


RE: mail problem - lthorne - 01-08-2012 09:28 AM

Same problem here. ispCP 3.0.4.1 - Ubuntu 11.10 - linode.com (VM) hosted. direct routed.

Squirrel mail (webmail) works fine for sending/rec'ving email. Any mail client (outlook, thunderbird, macmail) all GET mail fine, but sending is not working via any mail client.

I can send to myself without SMTP-auth (from/to same account without smtp auth using mail client works) - BUT, when I attempt to send with SMTP auth enabled in mail client (Outlook, thunderbird or macmail) it prompts me for password over and and over and over, even though I am using the exact same username (full email address as username) and password to log into webmail.

SMTP telnet session results in:

Great job on ispCP by the way! Love it - and thanks in advance.


RE: mail problem - joximu - 01-08-2012 10:53 AM

Sometimes it's sufficient to disabel saslauth daemon - because postfix can handle this.

btw, I'd enable the "submission" port (587) this is more and more used for the default Port for people to configure their smtp server....

/J


RE: mail problem - lthorne - 01-11-2012 09:10 AM

OK!!! Got it fixed!

It seems that saslauthd is a bit buggy in Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm going to be a "good guy greg" and show you how to resolve this issue.

First off, I followed this HowToForge article to setup ispCP 3 on Ubuntu 11.10 - http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-11.10-ispconfig-3

Now, there is a tiny sub-note that says if you get the error I got above ---
/var/log/mail.log has error
SASL LOGIN authentication failed: no mechanism available
--

Then go to this URL and follow the directions on downloading/installing the updated DEB's
http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=265831&postcount=25

I had to take a couple runs at it, ran apt-get -f install once to clean up after the first time it failed, then read the errors and install anything it gripes about and keep running dpkg -i *.deb until you don't get any more errors - LASTLY, you have to REBOOT the machine for the fix to take.

After all that, sending email from a client program works perfectly!

also, DO NOT DISABLE SASLAUTHD like the previous poster mention if using ispCP 3 on Ubuntu 11.10 - you'll have to go back and reactivate it to get everything to work.

ispCP rocks!!!!

Well - now I stumbled two times over "ispCP 3" - maybe you mean ispConfig - because ispCP hasn't released an official version "1.1"...

The sasl binaries normally are installed with ispCP.

OMG! I'm the biggest moron on the planet. You're correct. I also have several servers running ispCP and I've never had this problem with it.

Should I remove my previous post with links to ispConf?
