Everything else is dialed in but I can't get the email working. Fedora 8 followed the perfect server howto. I can't even email from one account on the domain to another. Need to get this up and running asap. Appreciate any help team! THanks in advance ~Willieray
What are you using to test? At what point does it fail? Is your server kicking back errors? What does your mail.log report? //Todd
postfix/smtpd[19761]: warning: 24-197-228-230.static.stpt.wi.charter.com[24.197.228.230]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure lotsa this. messages has similar errors with saslauthd getting a PAM error. I do have all the users setup in /etc/passwd though. Any ideas?
Have you already tried this to confirm your sasl config is good: http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html#server_test Also- check this thread. http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7015 //Todd
Code: telnet localhost 25 ehlo localhost 250-'my.server.com' 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN 250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN seems to check out compared to the howto...
wait there is something that might be choking it out. Not sure ehlo localhost gives 250-lianli.mydomain1.com ... ... but i'm trying to setup emails for mydomain2.com I have several domains on this one ip and i have installed a cacert on server2.com any help?
Not exactly. Did you actually try to authenticate a session via telnet localhost 25? Try the telnet localhost at port 25, and go through to try to authenticate as in that link- line begins with: AUTH PLAIN... If you can successfully authenticate there, I'd try another mail client. //Todd
using the perl script i was able to authenticate using `internal` names e.g. web2_sales2 gives authentication success but not with actual emails [email protected] or just sales2 fails... thanks again for your help!
Then you're good to go. web2_sales2 is the user name that email account needs to use to authenticate... //Todd
I've sent emails to [email protected] and [email protected] and nothing appears in roundcube. i'm not receiving or sending email via the server.
I just checked postconf -v and the hostname was wrong. I changed it to mail.mydomain2.com and restarted. should this have any affect?
I am able to telnet even remotely to mail.mydomain2.com Code: telnet mail.mydomain2.com 25 Trying myIP... Connected to mail.mydomain2.com. Escape character is '^]'. 220 mail.mydomain2.com ESMTP Postfix AUTH PLAIN 'hashed user /pw' 235 2.0.0 Authentication successful but the webmail, and mail clients (OS X mail.app and Outlook 2003) can not receive or send. I have sent several mails from clients i know to be working that never reach the mailbox that i can see. Please help, this is driving me nuts.
What is the domain name? Do you have MX records setup that point to your new server? If so, do you have a firewall in front of it? If so, do you have tcp 25 open and pointing to it? //Todd
pressure-parts.com I have MX records In ISPConfig for the site set to mail.pressure-parts.com I have MX records setup in ZoneEdit (my external DNS) for mail.pressure-parts.com I have port 25 open, and pointing to my servers internal static IP
Okay- tail your mail.log, and send yourself something. Need to see what postfix is saying about the inbound mail, where/what it's handing it off to, etc. to track the problem down. 'tail -f /var/log/mail.log' Then, send something to a vaild email address on that domain- it should look something like this: Sep 16 18:12:38 liasis postfix/smtpd[9112]: connect from rv-out-0506.google.com[209.85.198.237] Sep 16 18:12:38 liasis postfix/smtpd[9112]: C140D6E80FC: client=rv-out-0506.google.com[209.85.198.237] Sep 16 18:12:38 liasis postfix/cleanup[9180]: C140D6E80FC: message-id=<[email protected]> Sep 16 18:12:38 liasis postfix/qmgr[12852]: C140D6E80FC: from=<[email protected]>, size=2082, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 16 18:12:38 liasis postfix/pickup[8500]: E7DD96E8125: uid=10004 from=<web7_todd> Sep 16 18:12:38 liasis postfix/cleanup[9180]: E7DD96E8125: message-id=<[email protected]> Sep 16 18:12:38 liasis postfix/qmgr[12852]: E7DD96E8125: from=<[email protected]>, size=402, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 16 18:12:38 liasis postfix/local[9198]: E7DD96E8125: to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=0.04, delays=0.02/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/bin/procmail -f-) Sep 16 18:12:38 liasis postfix/qmgr[12852]: E7DD96E8125: removed Sep 16 18:12:43 liasis postfix/local[9181]: C140D6E80FC: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=5, delays=0.41/0.01/0/4.5, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/bin/procmail -f-) Sep 16 18:12:43 liasis postfix/qmgr[12852]: C140D6E80FC: removed //Todd

Okay- couple of things: 1. Looks like the IP address you're using for your MX record is blacklisted by at least AT&T, and most likely others. That will certainly contribute to email problems. If the address you're using for your MX record is a statically assigned IP address, ask your ISP to add create a PTR record for you that matches your A record: Non-authoritative answer: 228.57.180.24.in-addr.arpa name = 24-180-57-228.dhcp.rvsd.ca.charter.com. 2. You need to check your /etc/postfix/main.cf- specifically, your 'myhostname', 'mydomain' and the 'mydestination' parameters: "Sep 16 16:20:57 lianli postfix/smtp[5469]: 2624D47EE6D: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=mail.pressure-parts.com[24.180.57.228]:25, delay=0.76, delays=0.32/0.04/0.39/0, dsn=5.4.6, status=bounced (mail for mail.pressure-parts.com loops back to myself)" //Todd
