Hi folks, Happy new year to all of you!! Folks i got a problem with the emails that am sending from ISPConfig email box configured email account to any other domain, such as hotmail, yahoo, google and some others and getting the following error from email client: Foxmail: SMTP server reply: 535 Error authentication failed Outlook 2003: some recipients did not receive your message. Subject: Testing outlook sent: 21/01/2007 08:56 Unable to locate following recipients: '[email protected]' en 21/01/2007 08:56 554 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated!! Thanks in advance
Did you enable SMTP authentication in outlook? The option is named "Server requires authentication" in the outlook settings.
Thank you for your reply Till, Check this out, my ISPConfig server is on IP .204 and this computer is on IP .202 and I got 3 machines running Linux, MacOS and Win XP each one uses evolution, Thunderbird and Outlook 2003 and none of them have checked "SMTP authentication" and am able to send emails with no problem. When ever am in other location I got those errors, even if I take my laptop I got that error.... Any other ideas??
Take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=16205&postcount=34 Number 3 applies to you.
what should I change?? Also am trying to send some neswletter from home and I kept receiving this error: 535 Error: authentication failed What should I do to get going and be able to use client software instead of access webmail. Here is main.cf file. Thank you
Your server is currently a open relay for many IP addresses, which means that many poeple can use your server to send mail and your server will be blacklisted as spam sender sooner or later. Please add this line to your main.cf file: mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 And then enable SMTP authentication in all email clients that shall send trough your server.
Ok, I've added that line at the end of document, but still am able to send emails with no SMTP authentication selected!!! readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.2.2/README_FILES smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination smtpd_tls_auth_only = no smtp_use_tls = yes smtpd_use_tls = yes smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names
Hi Till, Yers, in fact I've restarted postfix, but now am unable to send any email at all, is request for my login information "web1_admin" and password but it doesn't matter how do I write those can get thru!! What can I do then otherwise, I might to remove mynetworks line. Thanks
Where should I check mail.log file?? /etc/postfix am looking over file system but not sure where is it!!
Thanks for the hint!! There is a lot of errors also it mentions mailbox vulnerable How to correct SASL Config!!! Thanks
Please post the important parts of your mail log here directly instead of attaching it as a zip file. Which distribution are you using?
Don't be too worried. Unless you have allowed users to login to your box with ssh, this doesn't harm immediately. Should be fixed though, but I don't know how right now (sorry, time limitation on my side).
Currently am using Fedora Core 4!! Sorry , about large files, but I wan't sure really what to look for!! My bad
Please post the important parts of your mail log again. Also, compare your Postfix setup with the one from this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_4_p4
Hi Falko, Thank you for your reply, about the log file is hard to tell what is important or not, there is a lot of errors which I don't know what to look for: there is something that is very consistant and is: Mailbox vulnerable - directory /var/spool/mail must have 1777 protection Also: warning: SASL authentication problem: unknown password verifier Jan 24 07:46:58 morticia postfix/smtpd[8979]: warning: unknown[xxx.xx.xxx.202]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed Jan 24 07:46:58 morticia postfix/smtpd[8979]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[xxx.xx.xxx.202] And checking the postfix setup here is same as tutorial: [root@morticia ~]# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1...

Please run Code: chmod 1777 /var/spool/mail What's in /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf? What's the output of Code: uname -m ?
Ok, I have run chmod Content of smtpd.conf pwcheck_method: saslauth mech_list: plain login Results of uname -m i686 Thanks
