    Hi. I installed ISPConfig with FC5 with the great Falko HowTos.
    Everything worked fine for a couple of months.
    The server use to have a public IP address.

    The ISP added an external Firewall and i have changed the Server IP
    address to an internal 192.168.0.7 address instead of the public.

    I made some changes on the named , httpd, hosts, resolv.conf files
    and others and almost everything worked fine
    but only the SMTP RELAY ACCESS IS NOT WORKING NOW as before
    when the users use outlook. (with squirrel and uebimiau is working ok)

    The sasl auth looks like working well and authenticate the user
    but now it is not allowing the relay.

    it looks like the SMTP AUTH connection works but is not saved or cached ???

    The maillog shows that outlook is trying to send the email before the Login and the Logout
    in the past logs was in the same order but in the second time the user try to send
    the email the connection was allowed.

    I will appreciate any help or hint.

    Regards.

    I have changed the IP in ISPCONFIG -> Management --> Server -- Settings -> IP address

    SASL is working...

    What's the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    ? Did you enable "Server requires authentication." in your email client?

    What's the output of
    Code:
    postconf -d|grep mynetworks
    and
    Code:
    postconf -n|grep mynetworks
    ?

    PostconfOutputs

    Hi Falko thanks for your great support.
    Hope i can contribute to the ISPconfig in some way in the near future.
    I have a good expertise in php and c++ programming.


    ------------------------------------------
    Regarding your questions.

    I saw that the postconf -d
    have a problem in mynetworks because there is not ',' between the subnets..
    How can i update the output for postconf -d ??
    mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.0.0/24

    the main.cf have it well with the ',' and the postconf -n shows
    mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/24

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    Did you enable "Server requires authentication." in your email client?

    Sure...
    and everything was working great before changing the IP.

    Does pop-before-smtp works with the postfix configuration for ISPConfig ?

    ------------------------------------------------------------

    the output of netstat -tap is:

    New developers are alawys welcome :)

    postconf -d shows the defaults while postconf -n shows the current configuration used by postfix. I think the correct configuration will be without ",", so it might be better to remove it in main.cf and restart postfix.


    No. Pop before SMTP is not supported.


    Thats ok so far. Postfix is listening on all IP addresses.

    Still.... Relay access denied

    I was playing the during all the night with several parameters like
    smtpd_sender_restrictions , smtpd_sender_restrictions with no luck.
    (i commented it at last)

    The Login with dovecot looks ok... but still with Relay access denied;

    I tried the mynetworks in the main.cf with and without comma
    but still the same problem
    i don't know why permit_sasl_authenticated,is not working....

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    This is a recent log... it is the same.

    Nov 28 03:53:03 dominios postfix/smtpd[18241]: connect from unknown[196.40.56.7]

    --------------------------------
    i think postconf -d (default) is not necesary...
    because it is overwrited by the current ???

    --------------------------------
    Here is all the output from postconf -n ?

    ---------------------------------
    If i add manually my IP 196.40.56.7 to the mynetworks in the main.cf it works
    but i can't be all day adding the clients Ips and restarting... SMTP_AUTH have to do this work. !!!
    This is the correct log when the ip was added manually and the message sended ...

    Which mailclient are you using? For me it looks like your mailclient does not send authentication informations, as it is logged as unknown:
    Please try another mailclient like thunderbird to see if the problem is related to the server or client.

    Other mail clients have the same

    Thanks for the hint but no luck yet.
    I tried with outlook, netscape email and thunderbird with exactly the same results
    My server require authentication (server login user/pass) is active.

    Somebody knows why ???
    Another clue.... If i try from the same machine...
    telnet localhost 25 i receive:
    -------------------------------------------------------
    Trying 192.168.0.7...
    Connected to www.dominiostek.com (192.168.0.7).
    Escape character is '^]'.
    220 dominiostek.com ESMTP Postfix
    -------------------------------------------------------
    but if i try from an external machine telnet dominiostek.com 25 i just saw

    220 *****************************

    I don't know why ??? Is that ok ???
    -------------------------------------------------------

    Authenthication looks ok... because people receive emails but nobody can send...
    (at least i stay all day adding the IP in mynetworks !)

    I reviewed again the the file /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd has MECH=pam
    but i saw some forum messages for some people using MECH=shadow. Is that ok ?

    Is 200.122.152.12 your server's public IP address? Because that's the IP address that dominiostek.com is pointing to.

    Problem Solved. Thanks

    Yes Falko and thanks for everything....

    Hope i can contribute in the ISPConfig soon...
    maybe with some small php programming to start
    i have some expertise in php and c
    i think i have some ideas to add more features soon and share it...

    I solved the problem yesterday.
    I deleted all the postfix files main.cf and others
    and did a fresh postfix reinstall and it is working now.

    I will try to change this posts to make a small mini-Howto
    change IP with ISPCONFIG

    ISPConfig is great...
    i just saw some small problems by now:
    1 - when i delete a user don't delete everything
    from the mysql database etc....
    and cannot create it again with the same name
    2 - now it's not updating the named files and virtualusers
    when creating domains and users...
    (i am doing that manually)

    Thats the intended behavoiur :) ISPConfig has a recycle bin like most modern desktop enviroment (Gnome, KDE, Windows, MacOS). If you empty the recycle bin, the records where removed from the database.

    Please have a look at the ISPConfig logfile /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/ispconfig.log for errors.
