mail problem - authentication (postfix,ISPconfig)

marclar,

Not sure if you know, and if you like spam.
If so you can leave the posts with all the email addresses as is, but if not, it's better to remove them from here!

 

What's in your mail log now?

 

same problem here

after redoing my server i got the same probles as descript here that i'm unable to send emails either from outlook oe the bat email clients...i have attached the the things as you asked here ...

 

look at the log:

The last login failed's are from outlook trying to connect with info username...
(mydomain.com is mydomain )

 

The username is something like web1_user, not info. You must use the real username in Outlook.

 

Please open a new thread and post the contents of your files directly instead of attaching them.

 

I removed that defoult prefix (web1_)...
And these two accounts are the same, and marclar works, info doesnt...
look:

 

Postfix create a lot of aliases by default, im not sure, but i believe info is a root's alias, thats why you cant receive emails.

 

Well, i figured out two things now.
All the usernames and passwords are accepted but info.
But no matter to which username, I can send e-mail as an [email protected]

I can set up an acoount in outlook with username that works, and set e-mail addres as [email protected], and the mail is successfully sent, and comes from bill gates.
Why is that so? I suppose, that's not right??

 

Is info in /etc/passwd?

That's normal. You can type in any address you like. That's why spammers can use faked sender addresses. It's a weakness in the SMTP protocol.

 

Yes it is:

Darn, just cant figure that info out... Now if I send an email to [email protected], no error ocures anymore... But have no idea, how to collect that mail from server...

There is also a folder for info user. /web4/user/info
and under /Maildir/new is one mail I sent..
But still can't collect it with username and password via Outlook...

 

What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

?

 

here is the output:

 

And what's the output of

Code:

iptables -L

?
Do you use POP3 or IMAP in your email client?

 

here: click

very long stuff here ...

I use pop3 not imap in outlook!

 

Wow, I tried to set that same account in outlook, but with IMAP server. And this worked No authentication errors anymore..
Well great thing that works, but I'm still wondering why is that so?
All the accounts were created with the same procedure, and all of them work with pop3, but info works only with IMAP.

Any ideas why is that so?

 

I have no idea...

 

Hehe, I think that's the first of your 8 thousand posts, that you ran out of ideas.
Doesn't matter anyway. It works now, and I'm happy

Thank you Falko and others again, for your time!

You're the man
