Can't SEND eMails.

Hi @ all!

I installed ISPConfig on a Suse Linux 9.3 - System, and everything is working fine - but I can't send eMails using Outlook or Outlook Express.

When I try to send a eMail using OE, it asks me to enter the username and password over and over again.

This is what I found in the maillog:

Code:

Aug 20 07:40:22 ds80-237-152-59 postfix/smtpd[3864]: connect from ip60.163.1211F-CUD12K-04.ish.de[62.143.163.60] 
Aug 20 07:40:22 ds80-237-152-59 postfix/smtpd[3864]: warning: ip60.163.1211F-CUD12K-04.ish.de[62.143.163.60]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed 
Aug 20 07:40:22 ds80-237-152-59 postfix/smtpd[3864]: lost connection after AUTH from ip60.163.1211F-CUD12K-04.ish.de[62.143.163.60] 
Aug 20 07:40:22 ds80-237-152-59 postfix/smtpd[3864]: disconnect from ip60.163.1211F-CUD12K-04.ish.de[62.143.163.60]

Receiving mails is working fine. If I send a eMail from a GMX-Account to [email protected], I can receive it using my Oulook.

Any Ideas?

I used this manual :

http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_suse_9.3

Which steps out of this manual could I reproceed to get my Postfix / SASL working?

PS.: Sorry 4 my bad english. ^^

 

Hmm...

I reworked this steps... Now I get the following error, when I try to "telnet localhost 25" :

Code:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused

Edit:

Okay, i tried telnet localhost 25 again, and now it says "Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'.

When I type ehlo localhost and press Enter, absolutely nothing happens. quit or any other command - no response.

 

Restart Postfix:

Code:

/etc/init.d/postfix restart

 

Hmm... I restarted Postfix once more - same error. What the f.... :-(

 

I get an error in the mail log :

Code:

Aug 29 20:48:50 ds80-237-152-59 postfix/smtpd[7702]: fatal: parameter "smtpd_recipient_restrictions": specify at least one working instance of: check_relay_domains, reject_unauth_destination, reject, defer or defer_if_permit

Hmmm... What does it mean?

my main.cf includes this line:

Code:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,check_relay_domains

I replaced it with yours, and restarted Postfix.

Now telnet works, here is the log :

Code:

220 xxl-radio.de ESMTP Postfix
ehlo localhost
250-xxl-radio.de
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 102400000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-STARTTLS
250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN
250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN
250 8BITMIME

But, if I try to send a Mail from Outlook Express or Outlook the following Error apperars in the mail-log :

Code:

Any Ideas?

 

Do you have

Code:

inet_interfaces = all

in /etc/postfix/main.cf?

 

Yes, it is.

Here is the complete content of main.cf:

Code:

mydomain = xxl-radio.de

Any Ideas?

 

You should add /etc/postfix/local-host-names to mydestination:

Code:

mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain, /etc/postfix/local-host-names

This is normally done by the ISPConfig installer.
Also try this:

Code:

smtpd_use_tls = no
smtp_use_tls = no

and restart Postfix:

Code:

/etc/init.d/postfix restart

 

Hi falko!

I've tried your tips, but i still get the following error in my log-file

Code:

Sep  3 15:35:30 ds80-237-152-59 postfix/smtpd[9381]: warning: ip7.163.1211F-CUD12K-04.ish.de[62.143.163.7]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed

Hmmm...

 

Hmm. Anyone?

 

Is saslauthd running?
Try

Code:

/etc/init.d/saslauthd restart

 

saslauthd was running.

I restarted - no errors :

Code:

Shutting down service saslauthd                                      done
Starting service saslauthd                                           done

 

Anyone?

 

I am running into the same issues with this sasl server.
