Hi, Whenever a client tries to send an email they keep getting an auth error i have remoted there machines and set it up for authorisation but it's saying incorrect username/password i have checked through the forums but could not see a fix for this in any of the posts. I am running Debian from Perfect Setup Guide. they can recieve there POP emails perfectly fine and i am able to send mails using my master domain account but it's the other domains that cannot send i even setup a domain as a test to see if it was something in there config and i copied the settings from my domain to the test domain but it's still coming up with the same error.... I have tried username "web<num>_<name>@domain" and "web<num>_<name>@masterdomain" aswell as "web<num>_<name>" but to no avail. All help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Please verify that your SMTP server setting is correct and try again, or else contact your network administrator. which logs would you like to see? postfix or user mail logs?
Make sure your firewall doesn't block port 25. What's the output of Code: netstat -tap ? It's the same log file, usually in the /var/log directory.
NETSTAT REPORT Mail.log.ispconfig linked below as it was too long for a quote and wouldn't let me attach it. http://www.zcubed.co.uk/Log/mail.log.ispconfg DOC VERSION JUST INCASE http://www.zcubed.co.uk/Log/mail.doc
lol the mail log hasn't been touched since december apparently .. above is the outcome of iptables -L Thanks Again for all your help
Sorry that wasn't very helpful. the mail.log file is totally empty the only mail.* file with anything at all in is mail.log.ispconfig ... Hope this helps to clear that up a bit. according to the mail.log.ispconfig the last time the log was touched was december last year and then it died ... more info is on the actual log.
Yes that's the servers ip address... i tried to remove server1.zcubed.co.uk before but FTPD kept sending server errors so i ended up putting it back... so should i create a co-domain or how will this work? sorry for this but my Tech used to do all of this but he's recently passed away so i'm having to learn V quickly.
sorry for late reply have been working all day and night... i'm always trying to find a way to get access to my sites but the work's server don't allow internet access just Intranet
The mail log is still empty... MAIL.LOG.ISPCONFIG that seems wrong to me... all of the other mail logs are empty even mail.err and mail.info and mail.warn. Still the same error occuring when trying to send an email.
I guess the log is a bit old "Dec 13 01:21:45", or is the date set wrong on your server? The ISPConfig log is always a backup copy of your mail log, if the maillog save option in ISPConfig is enabled.
just done a quick check in the server settings and mail logs should be saved in /var/log/mail.log and Save Log is ticked so yep it should be logged but it's not... now i'm really baffled...?
also just checked some of the other files Mail.warn.0 and that's also got a repeat of the mail.log.ispconfigsave in there... does that error above not mean that postfix isn't running? i've done ./etc/init.d/postfix start and got
nope still don't see anything in the mail.log it's still empty... shall i try to do the restart using ispconfig?
