[automail] Autodiscover doesn't use specified servers

I followed the tutorial on @florian030 's website: https://schaal-it.com/ispconfig-automail/
(at least, i think its his

So, autoconfig is working fine for things like Thunderbird.
But Autodiscover, something is wrong. It doesnt use the servers setup but the defaults it finds in the dns?!

 

Maybe autodiscover settings are wrong? Did the testing tool show any errors?

I don't understand what you mean by that.
Just noticed this from today: https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/srv-record-in-dns-template.64725/

 

Well, the plugin for automail gives you an extra tab. There fill out your mail hosts, mail.example.com
But Autodiscover doesnt use those fields somehow. It just uses imap.client.com and smtp.client.com instead of mail.example.com

-edit-
The analyzer shows wrong certificates and uses imap.client.com and smtp.client.com instead of mail.exampe.com

 

mailserver FQDN: mail.myhostdomain.com
client domain: myclientdomain.com

in myclientdomain.com dns:
autoconfig cname
hostname: autoconfig
target hostname: autoconfig.myhostdomain.com.
ttl: 3600

autodiscover SRV
hostname: _autodiscover._tcp
target: autodiscover.myhostdomain.com.
weight: 0
port: 443
priority: 0
ttl: 3600


in myhostdomain.com dns:

autoconfig A record
hostname: autoconfig
ip: <ip of mailserver>
ttl: 3600

autodiscover A record
hostname: autodiscover
ip: <ip of mailserver>
ttl:3600

mailserver A Record
hostname: mail
ip: <ip of mailserver>
ttl: 3600

mailserver MX record
hostname : myhostdomain.com.
mailserver hostname: mail.myhostdomain.com.
priority: 10
ttl: 3600


in automail ispconfig tab
mailserver: mail.myhostdomain.com
hostname imap/pop3: mail.myhostdomain.com
hostname smtp: mail.myhostdomain.com


make sure the autodiscover web files are uploaded, and served by a webserver, on the mailserver at /var/www/html/autodiscover

 

I had also made autoconfig.client.com as cname. Removed those, will test tomorrow morning with these settings

 

When setting up the new mail accout, it still tries to use:
imap.client.com
smtp.client.com
Instead of mail.server.com

Did you make a aliasdomain for website or a aliasdomain (vhost)?
I dont understand why.. i removed the imap.client.com and smtp.client.com, i want autodiscover to use mail.server.com
That is also what i filled in the automail tab.

 

hmm. not actually looked through the script files themselves to see what checks what and where.
I didn't create any aliasdomains or vhost aliasdomains. shouldn't be necessary, and would just be an extra complication/distraction.

only other thing I can think of, is the autodiscover website part isn't getting the correct/any information from ispconfig. have you configured the correct remote user details in config.php in the autodiscover website files? and have you create this remote user, with the required permissions in ispconfig? I would suggest testing that remote user login is working ok. possibly a self-signed cert is waiting for you to trust it, which never happens, so the api query doesn't complete....

 

Yes, the correct remote api user is present, since autoconfig works, just not autodiscover
And it's all on the same host.. with a valid LE certs as well for the config panel..

 

Looking in the php source coude, i turned on debugging....
That looks just fine..

Still, outlook and w10-mail use imap.client.com and smtp.client.com.

 

I feel sooo f-ing stupid... i have the dns of server.com at the registar... not in my ispconfig panel.. how can i be so stupid..
Though, that didnt help anything
This is my server.com dns settings. I did just change the SRV record to autodiscover but i dont think that wil change anything:



And this is my client.com dns:

 

ok, one thing, that I suspect you're already doing as you say autoconfig works, but isn't clear or just isn't shown on those edited screenshots.

for the A and AAAA records, name fields, if you're using the domain name, add a trailing . at the end.
same for the data fields for the autoconfig cname and the autodiscover srv records.

 

Okai, we can stop looking (for now). Heard back from Florian..

"this plugin does not work with newer outlook version. ms changed the way for the config-request and i have no time to find out what they changed"

 

"I did just change the SRV record to autodiscover but i dont think that wil change anything"

 

following

 

Now that we know that doesn't work with the latest Outlook how it would be possible to uninstall it?
There isn't any information about what to delete to complete uninstall it.

Thanks

 

Thanks, i reverted everything on the install.php just to be sure.
