pop3d-ssl: LOGIN FAILED

Hello,

I'm running a server using debian stable, and i've installed the latest version of ISPconfig.
Everything is fine excepted that i can't connect to the pop server using a mail client.
In order to trouble shoot i've made a cat /var/log/mail.err and this is what i get: Nov 21 18:16:33 hulk pop3d-ssl: LOGIN FAILED
I really checked numnerous times my user and passwd informations, i'm using as login: web2_test and passwd: secret.

As i previously had a working version of postfix i was thinking that maybe it could interfer with my actual main.cf, i looked at it but found nothing.

I would really appreciate if you could look at my main.cf to see if everything is fine.
Could you tell me if there's another log where i should look at in order to get more interesting informations ?

Code:

# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
biff = no

# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no

# Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
#delay_warning_time = 4h

myhostname = hulk.strategic-monitoring.com
#mydestination = 127.0.0.1
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8


#virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf
virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf
virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf

virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail
virtual_uid_maps = static:5000
virtual_gid_maps = static:5000
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
smtpd_use_tls = yes
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.cert
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.key


alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname

relayhost = 

mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all


smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination
virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable

mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names

Best regards,

ok i have changed my config file but i still have the login error message

I've readen everything that i could find in the archives of this forum but i still have the same error message inside my log file, "pop3d-ssl: LOGIN FAILED".
i've restarted postfix and try to do whatever was possible to do...
I can't find nothing special in my config file, if someone could have a look at it it would be really nice.

Many thanks !

This is my config file:

authdaemonrc

After more investigations i presume that the problem is not coming from my config file.
I have inside /etc/courier/authdaemonrc this line:
authmodulelist="authmysql"

So if i understand i need to change this in order to ISPconfig to be able to find the real users of the system ?

 

Your main.cf looks ok now.

You don't need the courier-authdaemon at all. I'd remove it from your system.

I suggest that you re-install your server following this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_sarge

 

pop3d-ssl problem resolved

Hello,

I had to change the line

authmodulelist="authmysql" inside /etc/courier/authdaemonrc to authmodulelist="authpam"

and afterward i had to restart the daemon.

I wanted to thank the developpers of ISPconfig because it's really a great tool, i was looking for such s thing for a long time ago.

Many thanks !!!

Best regards,
