hi, Im using the perfect setup howto for suse 10.1 (ISP/Server installation) i was doing ok till Step 7 Postfix With SMTP-AUTH And TLS. I edited /etc/postfix/master.cf, restarted postfix, called: telnet localhost 25 and got the following: Code: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 dude.spenguin.net ESMTP Postfix 421 dude.spenguin.net Error: timeout exceeded Connection closed by foreign host. Can someone fetch me an idea of what could be wrong and how i could fix this? Thanks Alot!
When you see Code: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 dude.spenguin.net ESMTP Postfix you must type Code: ehlo localhost If you don't or wait too long you'll get this timeout.
once i typed 'ehlo localhost' i Did get a Code: 250-STARTLS however, i didnt get PHP: 250-AUTH Is that something to worry about?> What could be wrong now?
This means that SMTP-AUTH doesn't work. What is the exact output? Maybe you should compare your configuration again with the one from the tutorial.
Nevermind, I thaught it had to say 250-AUTH Exactly; but the exact output i had was: Code: [root@server1 ssl]# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. 220 server1.xxxxx.xx ESMTP Postfix ehlo localhost 250-server1.xxxxx,xx 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN 250 8BITMIME Thanks!
Try handing mail off to the server before any DNS changes, see if it all works well: # telnet localhost 25 > helo domain.com > mail from:<[email protected]> > rcpt to:<[email protected]> > data > test > .
