[Solved] 554 5.7.1 Relay access denied

[measaura]

today I finally manage to make things tick. I would like to share my settings here.

dovecot.conf

Code:

base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/
protocols = imap pop3
disable_plaintext_auth = no
listen = *
syslog_facility = mail
log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log
auth_debug=yes
auth_debug_passwords=yes
login_greeting = Dovecot ready.
mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/virtual/%d/%n
mail_extra_groups = mail
protocol imap {
}
namespace private {
prefix = INBOX.
inbox = yes
}
protocol pop3 {
pop3_uidl_format = %u-%v
}
protocol lda {
postmaster_address = postmaster@(hidden).com
auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
}
auth default {
  mechanisms = plain login
  passdb sql {
    args = /etc/dovecot-sql-domain.conf
  }
  userdb sql {
    args = /etc/dovecot-sql-domain.conf
  }
  passdb sql {
  args = /etc/dovecot-sql-subdomain.conf
}
userdb sql {
  args = /etc/dovecot-sql-subdomain.conf
}
socket listen {
  client {
   path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
   mode = 0660
   user = postfix
   group = postfix
  }
  master {
   path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
   mode = 0660
   user = vmail
   group = mail
  }
}
user = vmail
}
plugin {
}

postconf -n

Code:

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases

append_at_myorigin = yes
append_dot_mydomain = no

setgid_group = postdrop
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ISPCP 1.0 Priamos Managed ESMTP 1.0.0 RC2 OMEGA
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth

virtual_minimum_uid = 12004
virtual_transport = dovecot
virtual_uid_maps = static:12004

*note: gid & uid has been changed to the vmail uid & mail gid. Please update uid & gid in your dovecot-sql-domain.conf and dovecot-sql-subdomain.conf too if it's different.

for Fedora Core 6 (that I use), please change the given code in HowTo to the code below. It solves your unknown transport error.

Code:

dovecot unix - n n - - pipe
  flags=DRhu user=vmail:mail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient}

*note: argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver changed to argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver

and on the client (Outlook etc.) please tick on "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" under Outgoing Server in advanced setting. Please refer to your version on setting this.

The rest of the setting on Postfix is the default setting upon installation. I manage to solve this by uninstalling Postfix & re-install Postfix and edit the default /etc/postfix/main.cf based on values given in /etc/ispcp/postfix/main.cf. If you have installed ispCP then uninstall the Postfix, your main.cf & master.cf will be backed up with main.cf.rpmsave & master.cf.rpmsave.

Now, i'm going to solve the webmail issue

Quote:Error opening ../data/default_pref
Could not create initial preference file!
../data/ should be writable by user apache
Please contact your system administrator and report this error.

gonna check Squrrelmail FAQ for this.
