    I have followed The Perfect Server - Debian Wheezy (Apache2, BIND, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3) Howto.

    Postfix set up is not working. I am not able to receive mails. Relevant lines in main.cf are as following.

    # TLS parameters
    smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.cert
    smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.key
    smtpd_use_tls = yes


    What I have observed is following.

    - Postfix does not throw any error upon restart

    - When I do telnet localhost 25, it successfully connects. But when I do ehlo localhost it simply closes the session

    root@sun:/etc/postfix# telnet localhost 25
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
    Connected to localhost.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    ehlo localhost
    Connection closed by foreign host.


    - At this time I get following logs in mail.log

    Oct 4 12:13:29 sun postfix/smtps/smtpd[19923]: SSL_accept error from localhost[127.0.0.1]: -1
    Oct 4 12:13:29 sun postfix/smtps/smtpd[19923]: warning: TLS library problem: 19923:error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol:s23_srvr.c:628:
    Oct 4 12:13:29 sun postfix/smtps/smtpd[19923]: lost connection after CONNECT from localhost[127.0.0.1]
    Oct 4 12:13:29 sun postfix/smtps/smtpd[19923]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1]


    I have tried using different pairs of certificate and key. But nothing is working. Please help.

    Thank you.

    Did you enable smtps and submission ports in postfix master.cf file?

    Solved

    Thanks a lot Till. That was the problem. I forgot to uncomment smtps and submission port directives in master.cf

    Thank you very much :)
