Afternoon, I've just completed building an installation of ISPconfig on Centos5. All has gone very smooth, thanks to the Centos5 HowTo. My present issue is getting mail clients to be able to retrieve their email via pop3. Everyone can read/send email via the UebiMiau interface, but everyone email client's are failing to login. example from /var/log/secure dovecot-auth: pam_succeed_if(dovecot:auth): error retrieving information about user [email protected] and from /var/log/maillog dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:69.179.21.121, lip=::ffff:64.34.158.164 the domains and users are in the /etc/postfix/virtualusertable and /etc/postfix/localhostnames . It's got to be something simple that I am missing. Thanks, Mike
Any ideas? Any suggestions? All of the clients ( Outlook and Thunderbird ) report server time out. Have tried connections: none, TLS & SSL using secure authenication and without. And, yes I have MailDir checked in the Mgmt->srvr->setting->Email checked! Input would be appreciated. Mike
Have you tried telnet from another machine to 110 and 143? Is there a posiblity you have a firewall up? If telnet cannot connect try from a machine on the same network. you should have at least some type of responce when running Code: telnet localhost 110 on the server.
You will have to use the username to login with a mail client by pop3 or imap and not the email address as used in uebimiau.
yes telnet works from other machines. ------------- > telnet 64.34.15.16 110 Trying 64.34.15.16... Connected to host.domain.com (64.34.15.16). Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. ----- So port is open. I've got IMAP to work by logging in as webX_userID but not pop3. I'm hoping I don't have to alter more then 100 pop3 mail clients. To prepend the webX_ to their logins. I've tried multiple formats for logins in using TLS and none have been successful. Formats attempted: [email protected] webX_userid [email protected] [email protected] ------- Also these pop3 attempts are not appearing in any logs files that I can seem to find. Only failed attempts I can see appear to be imap attemtps. Thoughts?
ok, seems all is under control. But I have 30 domains to move onto the ISP Config server, and I don't want to have to contact all the users and deal with the mail changes. Is there any way to alter, so that the pop3/imap and smtp logins are their full email address instead of the web[ID]_username only?
Yes, thats possible. There are several methods described in the tipps & tricks forum. I recommend to replace courier with dovecot in your setup, as this is the easiest way and configure dovecot as described in the tipps & tricks forum.
