Hi all I used this tutorial "http://howtoforge.net/virtual_users_and_domains_with_postfix_debian_etch" to install and configure my mail server. I followed the tutorial word by word and: When I am doing telnet localhost pop3, inserting at the command line a user mail address ([email protected]) I am getting: O.k. Inserting user password I am getting: logged in. That is fine - but: trying to connect via my outlook I keep getting (from the mail log): Code: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory And also: Code: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: generic failure Looking at this forum I added the command Code: postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_auth_only = no' and restarted the server. It did not help. The directory /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd is set to chmod 777 - should be o.k. But yet I can not connect via outlook to the mail server. Please guide me howto solve the problem. Thank you. Menahem
Please start saslauthd: Code: /etc/init.d/saslauthd start and heck if it's really running: Code: ps aux | grep saslauthd
falko: Thank you for your replay. I did Code: /etc/init.d/saslauthd start and then: Code: ps aux | grep saslauthd The output is: Code: root 3628 0.0 0.1 2848 700 pts/0 R+ 01:15 0:00 grep saslauthd Looks like saslauthd is running? Where do we go from here? Thanks A lot. Menahem
Actually your output of the ps shows that it is not running. Check your logs when you try to start it. It may give a clue as to why it is not running.
volksman and falko: Mail server is working just fine Looks like the problem was:... a hidden UTF-8 note was inserted by my text editor (PSPedit) between the STAERT{UTF8 hidden note}=Yes at the saslauthd config file. I re inserted the line using VI without copt paste just wrote it up - and:a reset to the server and the mail server is working just fine. Falko and volksman thanks A lot for your help Menahem
I was to happey to soon: Al my emails get rejected by the mail server. Mail log looks like this: Code: Jan 2 22:44:35 vulpes postfix/smtpd[5101]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from hs-out-0708.google.com[64.233.178.245]: 554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<hs-out-2122.google.com> Jan 2 22:44:35 vulpes postfix/smtpd[5101]: disconnect from hs-out-0708.google.com[64.233.178.245] Where do we do from here?

Thanks. Menahem
Code: Did you create an email account for [email protected] on your server? Yes i did. I have a directory under vmail named negrocabalo.com and ,another, directory named ml under negrocabalo.com - in other words i have: directory taht looks like this: /home/vmail/negrocabalo.com/ml. At the data base i have a user ml@negrocabalo also. Menahem
IS the MX record for negrocabalo.com pointing to the correct server? You can check that with Code: dig mx negrocabalo.com

Hi Falko: Code: Is 89.138.253.225 your server? Yes it is. I reinstalled the mail server with the same tutorial.

I have similar problem here. I've installed Debian 4.0 following this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_etch . Instalation went flawlessly. I've also installed ISPConfig, phpMyAdmin, Squirrelmail, UebiMiau Webmail. I've created client, site, mail account to that client. Now I have problem to log in using that account. I can't log-in to squirrelmail, uebimiau webmail. I'm recieving an error Unknown user or password incorrect. When I try to send mail (from gmail account) to that e-mail addres I've created, I recieve this error Code: This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: [email protected] Technical details of permanent failure: PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 13): 554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied ----- Original message ----- Received: by 10.140.249.20 with SMTP id w20mr1374066rvh.225.1200570021186; Thu, 17 Jan 2008 03:40:21 -0800 (PST) Received: by 10.141.161.14 with HTTP; Thu, 17 Jan 2008 03:40:21 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2008 12:40:21 +0100 From: "Bojan Vujic" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: proba MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_Part_10561_3932167.1200570021163" ------=_Part_10561_3932167.1200570021163 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline proba ------=_Part_10561_3932167.1200570021163 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ----- Message truncated ----- How to fix this problem?
