Hi, I followed the following tutorial on how to configure postfix to use quotas and virtual email aliases read from a mysql database. http://www.howtoforge.com/fedora_virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier I can receive emails fine from any email alias I set up in the mysql database but when I try to send I receive an error that relay access is denied. I read through other threads on this site and enabled the outgoing server authentication with some luck. That fixes the problem if I create a user/pw on my machine for each virtual alias I want to send email from (ie I can send from [email protected] if I create a user account davet, but without a davet user acct on my machine it can't log in to authenticate outgoing email.) If I host multiple domains email on my machine I will likely run into problems with having the same alias at multiple domains, such as [email protected] and [email protected] because each will set their own password but I will only be able to create one user called support on my box. How can I enable relay access or authentication via the mysql database rather than having it use system accounts? It is doing that for incoming email, just not outgoing. Thanks! Dave
The howto uses the mysql database to authenticate, so your username is [email protected] or [email protected] and not just support, so you dont get any problems with duplicate usernames.
For some reason it is only using MySQL to authenticate for incoming email, not outgoing. I'll go through the how-to again and make sure I didn't miss anything. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

I removed the user account (not database account) for billing and tried to send an email from [email protected] and below is what was added to my maillog. Dec 4 15:55:19 hosting postfix/smtpd[13786]: connect from unknown[10.1.10.85] Dec 4 15:55:21 hosting postfix/smtpd[13786]: warning: unknown[10.1.10.85]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure Dec 4 15:55:21 hosting postfix/smtpd[13786]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[10.1.10.85] Dec 4 15:55:21 hosting postfix/smtpd[13786]: disconnect from unknown[10.1.10.85] Outlook Express (I did check the box that my outgoing mail server requires authentication) prompts me for my username and password for my outgoing mail server because authentication keeps failing. I am entering [email protected] for the username and the password that is in the database. For authentication on my outgoing mail server I selected the option to use the same information my incoming mail server uses. If you have any ideas what is wrong I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

You're using the 64bit version, which means you must use /usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf instead of /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf. Simply do this: Code: cp /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf /usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf
That did the trick. I thought I changed all the lib's to lib64's in the tutorial but I must have missed that one. I removed the user accounts for the email I had setup in my database and tried to send email and it worked! Thanks so much for the help!! Dave
problems after rebooting fedora 8 Hi Falco, I recently installed some security updates on my fedora 8 server and after resetting I quit being able to send/receive email with my virtual email addresses. Below are some lines from my mail log: Dec 30 15:37:32 hosting pop3d: Connection, ip=[::ffff:10.1.10.85] Dec 30 15:37:32 hosting pop3d: LOGIN, user=davet@[mydomain].com, ip=[::ffff:10.1.10.85], port=[2270] Dec 30 15:37:32 hosting pop3d: LOGOUT, user=davet@[mydomain].com, ip=[::ffff:10.1.10.85], port=[2270], top=0, retr=0, rcvd=12, sent=39, time=0 Dec 30 15:37:32 hosting pop3d: Connection, ip=[::ffff:10.1.10.85] Dec 30 15:37:32 hosting pop3d: LOGIN, user=billing@[mydomain].com, ip=[::ffff:10.1.10.85], port=[2271] Dec 30 15:37:32 hosting pop3d: LOGOUT, user=billing@[mydomain].com, ip=[::ffff:10.1.10.85], port=[2271], top=0, retr=0, rcvd=12, sent=39, time=0 Dec 30 15:37:32 hosting pop3d: Connection, ip=[::ffff:10.1.10.85] Dec 30 15:37:32 hosting pop3d: LOGIN, user=support@[mydomain].com, ip=[::ffff:10.1.10.85], port=[2272] Dec 30 15:37:32 hosting pop3d: LOGOUT, user=support@[mydomain].com, ip=[::ffff:10.1.10.85], port=[2272], top=0, retr=0, rcvd=12, sent=39, time=0 Dec 30 15:38:07 hosting postfix/smtpd[4158]: connect from unknown[10.1.10.85] Dec 30 15:38:07 hosting postfix/smtpd[4158]: D2EDB358606: client=unknown[10.1.10.85], sasl_method=LOGIN, sasl_username=support@[mydomain].com Dec 30 15:38:07 hosting postfix/cleanup[4165]: D2EDB358606: message-id=<001d01c84b3d$579e75b0$6401a8c0@davesdesktop> Dec 30 15:38:07 hosting postfix/qmgr[4119]: D2EDB358606: from=<support@[mydomain].com>, size=1469, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Dec 30 15:38:07 hosting postfix/smtpd[4158]: disconnect from unknown[10.1.10.85] Dec 30 15:38:07 hosting postfix/smtp[4166]: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused (port 10024) Dec 30 23:38:08 hosting postfix/smtp[4166]: D2EDB358606: to=<billing@[mydomain].com>, relay=none, delay=0.16, delays=0.11/0.05/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused) I am not sure why I am getting connection refused. I made sure all of my settings are right and postfix is configured right. Is there some daemon that isn't running? It looks like I'm not having any problem logging in and checking for new mail, but I am not able to send/receive emails. Any ideas what I'm missing? Thanks!
OK I did some more research and the problem was/is amavisd. For some reason when I try to start amavisd it gives me the following error: [root@server vmail]# /etc/init.d/amavisd start Starting amavisd: ERROR: MISSING REQUIRED BASIC MODULES: Compress::Zlib BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/amavisd line 171. [FAILED] [root@server vmail]# I have the perl module Compress::Zlib installed, so I am not sure why its giving me this error. As a temporary fix I commented out the lines in my postfix main.conf file that route email through amavisd. Now I have email at least, just without spam filtering. If you have any idea why I'm getting the error above and what I need to do to fix it I would greatly appreciate the help! Thanks
Maybe your version of Compress::Zlib isn't recent enough. You can try to install the latest version like this: Code: perl -MCPAN -e shell install Compress::Zlib q
I tried this and it says Compress::Zlib is up to date. Is there a way I can remove that lib and reinstall it?
This thread ( http://www.zimbra.com/forums/instal...les-time-hires-unix-syslog-compress-zlib.html ) seems to indicate that it's a problem with 64bit systems. It seems as if Perl is looking in the wrong directory... What's the output of Code: updatedb locate Zlib.pm ?
