Log does say Code: alert certificate expired Have you checked that? Where did you see Code: SMTP Error (220): Authentication failed.
Hi Taleman, I got " SMTP Error (220): Authentication failed. " error message on roundcube webmail. When I click the send button.
Have you checked the ssl cert of the mail server? The log says that the SSL cert is expired, @Taleman mentioned that already. You will have to renew the mail servers SSL cert or if it's a let's encrypt SSL cert, then check why it did not renew automatically. In case you use a comodo SSL cert, then also check the CA certs as a comodo CA cert expired this weekend.
Hi till, Thank you for the reply. Our server used Comodo SSL cert, and I already replace the SSL certificate since Feb. 26, 2020. And only this day, that our server encountered this error. Maybe I need to purchase support at schaal-it.com, since our top management requires immediate solution to this problem. Thank you till.
Check that you changed the CA ssl cert of the mail system too and not just the SSL cert itself. It's the CA cert that expired last weekend, not the SSL cert of your domain, so the issue is most likely that your system still uses an old CA cert in dovecot and / or postfix.
The problem was resolve on the next day, it was fixed after the execution of ISPConfig Cron Jobs. Thank you so much @Taleman and @till for your assistance.
