at the end Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL...

I'm ashamed for the question I'm goint to ask
but can't figure out the right wayt to configure outlook express to gain access to mail

In addition my postfix test results in following output

Code:

[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]server:/# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 server.domain.com ESMTP Postfix (Debian/GNU)
ehlo localhost
250-server.domain.com
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-STARTTLS
250-AUTH NTLM LOGIN PLAIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5
250 8BITMIME[/COLOR]

Line 250-AUTH NTLM LOGIN PLAIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 is no the same as tutorial's, that's ok? Or my configuration has errores.

One last question, tutorial dind´t covered DNS, however bind command gives me following result when asking for howtoforge.com.
Where should bind9's .conf files be? /etc/named or /var/lib/named doesn't exist

Code:

[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]
server:/# dig howtoforge.com

; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> howtoforge.com

thanks in advance

 

You must enable "Server requires authentication."
http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/relay/outlook-config.html

That's not ok. Please compare your configuration with the one from the tutorial.

dig is just a program to do DNS lookups, it asks the name servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf. You don't need Bind to run dig. On Debian Bind's configuration files are in /etc/bind by default. If it doesn't exist, it's likely that Bind isn't installed.

 

Thanks Falko, will check configuration step-by-step

do you sleep anytime?

 

Yes, enough, I think.

 

even now 'telneting' port 25 give me the same result as tutorial outlook express complain this way

Code:

'[B]-ERR Login failed.[/B]', Puerto: 110, Seguridad (SSL)

... via prompt

Code:

web:/# telnet localhost pop3
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK Hello there.
user [email protected]
+OK Password required.
pass ******
[B]-ERR Maildir: No such file or directory[/B]
Connection closed by foreign host.
web:/# 

and I'm getting this error on mail.log

Code:

Jan 16 15:35:23 web courierpop3login: [B]LOGIN FAILED[/B], ip=[::ffff:10.14.8.6]

Also can see that mail addresses are created '[email protected]' but I need to be '[email protected]'

hostname is 'web'
and domain is 'mcye.misiones.gov.ar'

 

You have to send a mail to that user first. The Maildir will be created upon arrival of the first email. Afterwards you can login with POP3.

 

Now appears this message in mail.log

Code:

Jan 17 08:22:25 web postfix/virtual[3102]: fatal: mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf: proxy map is not allowed for security sensitive data
Jan 17 08:22:26 web postfix/master[2687]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/virtual pid 3102 exit status 1
Jan 17 08:22:26 web postfix/master[2687]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/virtual: bad command startup -- throttling

 

Which distribution do you use? I wrote the HowTo for Debian Sarge.

 

box is running with Debian Sarge GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-686

 

That's ok. Please compare your configuration files with those of the tutorial. Maybe you made a typo somewhere, or the format is wrong...
