Hi. I just noticed that I can telnet to port 110 and login with some password. but I can't do it with the same credentials with postfix! I must have some configuration wrong. My aim was to provide ssl,tls,plain logins to both dovecot and postfix, so that even iphone users can connect to the system I tried this: Code: $ swaks --to [email protected] --server mail.kalfaoglu.net:587 [email protected] --auth-password=T@2uU318111 === Trying mail.kalfaoglu.net:587... === Connected to mail.kalfaoglu.net. <- 220 latte.kalfaoglu.net ESMTP Postfix -> EHLO somelaptop <- 250-mail.kalfaoglu.net <- 250-PIPELINING <- 250-SIZE <- 250-ETRN <- 250-STARTTLS <- 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN DIGEST-MD5 <- 250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN DIGEST-MD5 <- 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES <- 250-8BITMIME <- 250-DSN <- 250 CHUNKING -> AUTH DIGEST-MD5 <- 334 cmVhbG09IiIsbm9uY2U9Ikdqaa223123kE9PSIscW9wPSJhdXRoIixjaGFyc2V0PSJ1dGYtOCIsYWxnb3JpdGhtPSJtZDUtc2VzcyI= Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Authen/SASL/Perl/DIGEST_MD5.pm line 244. -> Y2hhcnNldD11dGYtOCxjbm9uY2U9IjAzYTU2YzM3NDMG09IiIscmVzcG9uc2U9ZTc4MDNjZmY5ZjZjOWNlYWNmODY2ZDdkNDhlNjNjZDYsdXNlcm5hbWU9InR1cmd1dEBrYWxmYW9nbHUuY29tIg== <** 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: (reason unavailable) -> AUTH LOGIN <- 334 VXNlcm56 -> dHV11thbGZhb2dsdS5jb20= <- 334 UGFz44333mQ6 -> VEAydVVr3333enQ= <** 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: (reason unavailable) -> AUTH PLAIN AHR1cmd1dEBrYWxmYWHHYEYETWGWVVR1p6a3p0 <** 454 4.7.0 Temporary authentication failure: Connection lost to authentication server *** No authentication type succeeded -> QUIT <- 221 2.0.0 Bye === Connection closed with remote host. PS: Some stuff edited..
In a default ISPConfig setup, postfix uses Dovecot for authentication and Dovecot then queries the mail_user table to verify the password. This works well with all mail clients, incl. Apple clients, and it also provides TLS-secured connections by default. I guess your problem might be that you enabled the DIGEST-MD5 auth method, which will not work when you use securely one-way hashed passwords like ISPConfig does. You do not need DIGEST-MD5 for Apple clients, they work fine with PLIAN and LOGIN.
