SMTP problem

[Y2K.bug]

Hello, I have a problem with sending an email. If I use webmail, everything is OK, but when I use thunderbird, It seems that SMTP refuses connection, or some authorisation fails. I have an old one VHCS omega on one of my servers and it works well there, but on this new one it doesnt work

may i ask a stupid question?

have you enabled authentication for smtp server in thunderbird?

When youve done that -> http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick....aslfinger/

[joximu]

And use port 587 in thunderbird for sending Mails (with SMTP Auth!)

hi, I have tried saslfinger and it writes:

Quote:saslfinger - postfix Cyrus sasl configuration Wed Oct 10 11:02:20 UTC 2007
version: 1.0.2
mode: client-side SMTP AUTH

-- basics --
Postfix: 2.3.8
System: Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 \n \l

-- smtp is linked to --
libsasl2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libsasl2.so.2 (0xb7d9e000)

-- active SMTP AUTH and TLS parameters for smtp --
No active SMTP AUTH and TLS parameters for smtp in main.cf!
SMTP AUTH can't work!

why?

[Y2K.bug]

but i think, this will not be the probelm, because it writes on my second server too...

this is what I have found in var/log/mail.log

Do you have this part in your main.cf?

Code:

#
# SASL paramters;
#

smtpd_sasl_auth_enable       = yes
smtpd_sasl2_auth_enable      = yes
smtpd_sasl_security_options  = noanonymous
smtpd_sasl_local_domain      =
broken_sasl_auth_clients     = yes
smtpd_sender_restrictions    = permit_mynetworks,
                               permit_sasl_authenticated,
                               reject_unauth_destination
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,
                               permit_sasl_authenticated,
                               reject_unauth_destination
                               check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:60000

and this line in the master.cf?

Code:

587       inet  n       -       -       -       -       smtpd
   -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject_unauth_destination

thx for reply, but I have both codes there It still isn't working. I can send an email from webmail, but not from the thunderbird(

[joximu]

Hi
I don't know where's the problem - can be everything.
We need more logs and Infos from Thunderbird.

If you want, I can test is, just give me the account details for a mail account via PM.

Maybe a Firewall on the Client or in the Network ?

I'm having a similar issue here on my Debian Etch system.

In my auth.log file I find this error :-

Quote: admin saslauthd[30641]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module

admin saslauthd[30641]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=yyyyy@zzzz.com.au] [service=smtp] [realm=zzzz.com.au] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]

I'm thinking perhaps when I installed ispcp that the install script didn't install something right.

Your assistance in solving this problem would be appreciated.
