Ok, now i have my popstfix sorted to i can send and receive all emails from anywhere in the world i find i cannot connect my smart phone. I have my msoutlook setup to go fetch my emails no problem but if i try and set up an account using the same settings in my smart phone it just fails. I have tried all manner of combinations of none/ssl/tls/combined nothing works, anyone any ideas it would be nice toi check on my server emails while out and about.
its a debian lenny server (perfect server setup) running postfix mysql, virtual hosts setup with amavis/ clamavis etc port 25 / 110 my phone is an xperia 10 mail settings user [email protected] password ******** pop3 mail.myhost.com stmp mail.myhost.com
i used this how to http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-debian-lenny-p2 it has openssl in it and saslauthd i dont know enough about it to know wether ssl is on or off
Check for following error in /var/log/mail.log when you try to add account: warning: unknown[1.2.3.4]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: no mechanism available *
Be sure to check if your phone company is blocking port 25 as this is a common thing, mostly to fight spam. I have this problem both at home and my phone, solved this by redirecting port 587 to 25 at the main router infront of the mailserver.
mail.log shows msoutlook connections and last google connection but shows nothing for the several attempts i have made from my phone.
Also, I would recommend using IMAP if you can use this mode with your server. POP3 will store your emails at the local computer and will not sync it from the server to every device as IMAP does. Maybe you know this already, but just a recommendation as I said
yes, and if you like check try this on your server .. $ telnet localhost 143 when it says connected run the command with your user name and password.. a login username password
i got this Code: server1:~# telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.

i tried to connect my smart phone no joy, i also added port 143 to my router i have tried setting host to mail.myhost.com and imap.myhost.com do you have a list of settings i should be looking at please?
