Hi folks, I follow; Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (Debian Etch) http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_users_and_domains_with_postfix_debian_etch building this mail server running as domU (guest) on a Xen box witn Debian Etch as Host. I have completed all steps except "13 Populate The Database And Test"; http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_users_and_domains_with_postfix_debian_etch_p6 Some minor problem encountered during installation which I'm not prepared mentioning here. 1) The mail server can send mails via telnet and receive mails addressed to [email protected] and [email protected] and deliver the same on /var/mail/satimis file. All incoming mails are added continuously here. Please advise how to get incoming mails delivered to /home/vmail/ as separate mails, not being added on a file. 2) Mail client, Evolution, running on Host can't login to send/receive mails. No password can satisfy on login. # tail /var/log/mail.log Code: Oct 22 21:48:31 xen02 postfix/smtpd[2005]: connect from unknown[220.232.213.178] Oct 22 21:48:43 xen02 courierpop3login: LOGIN FAILED, user=satimis, ip=[::ffff:220.232.213.178] Oct 22 21:48:51 xen02 postfix/smtpd[2008]: connect from 118-167-137-80.dynamic.hinet.net[118.167.137.80] Oct 22 21:48:53 xen02 postfix/smtpd[2005]: warning: unknown[220.232.213.178]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure Oct 22 21:48:53 xen02 postfix/smtpd[2008]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from 118-167-137-80.dynamic.hinet.net[118.167.137.80]: 554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=SMTP helo=<220.232.213.178> Oct 22 21:48:53 xen02 postfix/smtpd[2008]: lost connection after RCPT from 118-167-137-80.dynamic.hinet.net[118.167.137.80] Oct 22 21:48:53 xen02 postfix/smtpd[2008]: disconnect from 118-167-137-80.dynamic.hinet.net[118.167.137.80] Oct 22 21:48:54 xen02 postfix/anvil[1857]: statistics: max connection rate 1/60s for (smtp:118.167.137.80) at Oct 22 21:39:18 Oct 22 21:48:54 xen02 postfix/anvil[1857]: statistics: max connection count 1 for (smtp:118.167.137.80) at Oct 22 21:39:18 Oct 22 21:48:54 xen02 postfix/anvil[1857]: statistics: max cache size 2 at Oct 22 21:48:52 # cat /etc/default/saslauthd Code: START=yes MECHANISMS="pam" MECH_OPTIONS="" THREADS=5 OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r" Please advise how to fix the problem.

It seems you have an error somewhere in your configuration files. Please compare them again with the ones from the tutorial.
Hi falko, Rechecked notes taken on installation again your howto. Still failed. 1) Incoming mails to [email protected] still delivered/added to /var/mail/satimis file 2) Evolution running on Host of the Xen box still can't login # tail /var/log/mail.log Code: Oct 24 19:26:15 xen02 courierpop3login: Connection, ip=[::ffff:192.168.0.110] Oct 24 19:26:31 xen02 courierpop3login: LOGIN FAILED, user=satimis, ip=[::ffff:192.168.0.110] Oct 24 19:26:46 xen02 courierpop3login: LOGIN FAILED, user=satimis, ip=[::ffff:192.168.0.110] Oct 24 19:28:02 xen02 courierpop3login: LOGOUT, ip=[::ffff:192.168.0.110] Oct 24 19:28:02 xen02 courierpop3login: Disconnected, ip=[::ffff:192.168.0.110] Oct 24 19:29:02 xen02 courierpop3login: Connection, ip=[::ffff:192.168.0.110] Oct 24 19:29:02 xen02 postfix/smtpd[1916]: connect from xen0.satimis.com[192.168.0.110] Oct 24 19:29:21 xen02 courierpop3login: LOGIN FAILED, user=satimis, ip=[::ffff:192.168.0.110] Oct 24 19:29:35 xen02 postfix/smtpd[1916]: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: Connection refused Oct 24 19:29:35 xen02 postfix/smtpd[1916]: warning: xen0.satimis.com[192.168.0.110]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: generic failure satimis is the system user.

Yes, that is the problem. You can delete that system user and create it as a virtual user. Please run Code: adduser postfix sasl /etc/init.d/postfix restart /etc/init.d/saslauthd start
But I need to retain it for other system work. Is there any solution? If NO then I'll create a virtual user "satimis2" running; $ mysql -u root -p Code: mysql> USE mail; mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `mail`.* TO satimis2 IDENTIFIED BY 'satimis2_password'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; mysql> quit; postfix is already on sasl group # grep sasl /etc/group Code: sasl:x:45:postfix B.R. satimis
You don't have to create a user satimis2 in the mysql.user table, but you must create a new email address in the mail database.
Thanks A) Still fail. Incoming mails delivered to /var/mail/satimis file accumlated. Performed following tests; mysql> Use mysql/mail 1) mysql> GRANT all privileges on mail.* TO satimis@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> GRANT all privileges on mail.* TO [email protected] IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) 2) mysql> USE mysql; mysql> INSERT INTO `users` (`email`, `password`) VALUES ('[email protected]', ENCRYPT('mypassword')); Code: ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'mysql.users' doesn't exist mysql> USE mail mysql> INSERT INTO `users` (`email`, `password`) VALUES ('[email protected]', ENCRYPT('mypassword')); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; reload mysql and postfix including reboot the guest. mysql> USE mysql; mysql> show tables; Code: +---------------------------+ | Tables_in_mysql | +---------------------------+ | columns_priv | | db | | func | | help_category | | help_keyword | | help_relation | | help_topic | | host | | proc | | procs_priv | | tables_priv | | time_zone | | time_zone_leap_second | | time_zone_name | | time_zone_transition | | time_zone_transition_type | | user | +---------------------------+ 17 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> USE mail mysql> show tables; Code: +----------------+ | Tables_in_mail | +----------------+ | domains | | forwardings | | transport | | users | +----------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> SELECT * from users; Code: +---------------------+---------------+----------+ | email | password | quota | +---------------------+---------------+----------+ | [email protected] | hTxpq8Ul9h7o2 | 10485760 | +---------------------+---------------+----------+ 1 row in set (0.06 sec) B) Mail client 'Evolution' running on HOST unables to login to send/receive mails.

You will have the same problem as before because satimis is already a system user... [email protected] should work, for example.
Performed following steps; # mysql -u root -p Enter password: mysql> USE mail; mysql> INSERT INTO `users` (`email`, `password`) VALUES ('[email protected]', ENCRYPT('mypassword')); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.04 sec) mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec) mysql> show tables Code: -> ; +----------------+ | Tables_in_mail | +----------------+ | domains | | forwardings | | transport | | users | +----------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> SELECT * from users; Code: +----------------------+---------------+----------+ | email | password | quota | +----------------------+---------------+----------+ | [email protected] | hTxpq8Ul9h7o2 | 10485760 | | [email protected] | 38/J4Au1brfIo | 10485760 | +----------------------+---------------+----------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) reload postfix and mysql as well mails sent to [email protected] on Yahoo and Gmail all rejected.

You can try to contact the list maintainers to get de-listed. IS it using a different IP? Is that IP blacklisted?
Hi falko, No, same IP, absolutely sure, on the same Xen box. Just tested it. Incoming mails delivered to /home/user/Maildir/new/ Telnet mails to yahoo and gmail. All mails received immediately without problem. Mail client running on HOST can send/receive mails via this server. Login without problem. B.R. satimis
According to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/defer/defer-06.html your mails are blocked because your IP is blacklisted, so I don't know why emails from your other VM (with exactly the same IP address) are not blocked. Are you sure that both VMs are using exactly the same IP?
Yes, 100% sure, same external IP. I have only one external IP for testing. Connection: Xen box --> router --> ISP xen4.satimis.com - a working mail server local IP : 192.168.0.114 xen02.satimis.com - the problem mail server local IP : 192.168.0.202 Internet Webmail servers used for this testing Yahoo Gmail ISP I only switch/forward ports to the server under testing. satimis
