    Hi,

    I am having problems getting smtp working on my centos 6.2 server. I used the following tutorial:

    http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-6.2-x86_64-with-nginx-ispconfig-3

    When I try;

    telnet 127.0.0.1 25

    I receive;

    Code:
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
    Neither HELO localhost OR EHLO localhost return any response.

    The output of netstat -tap

    Code:

    Did you install ISPconfig?
    Can you post your main.cf?

    Yes ispconfig is installed and working great, ftp works and everything else I checked work. I was able to pinpoint it down to this error;

    Code:
    /var/log/maillog:Jan 28 13:20:02 CHI-05-05 postfix/smtpd[24203]: warning: xsasl_cyrus_server_get_mechanism_list: no applicable SASL mechanisms
    I disabled sasl authentication and it started working perfectly from telnet, so I was able to find that I was missing a package required running this command;

    Code:
    yum install cyrus-sasl-plain
    re-enabled sasl authentication and it is now working as expected from telnet.

    Thanks for your time Falko!

    Best Regards,

    Jason

    SMTP offline

    HI,

    I am having similar issues, though I suspect my server settings are incorrect.
    SMTP server is offline.
    Using Debian and ISPConfig.

    Feb 10 08:50:01 DutchUrban inqpopper[393]: (v4.0.9) servicing request from "localhost" at 127.0.0.1 [pop_init.c:1408]
    Feb 10 08:50:01 DutchUrban imapd[394] unexpected client disconnect while reading line user=??? host=UNKNOWN

    There is hardly any text in postfix/main.cf:

    smtp_banner = DutchUrban ESMTP $mail_name
    biff = no
    append_dot_mydomain = no
    readme_directory = no
    smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.cert
    smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.key
    smtpd_use_tls = yes

    postfix/master.cf lists all parameters as empty except:
    mynetworks=127.0.0.1/8
    strict_rfc821_envelopes=yes
    smtpd_bind_address=127.0.0.1

    hosts:
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    127.0.1.1 DutchUrban.colo.transip.net DutchUrban

    postconf shows:
    myorigin = dutchurban.nl Should this not be the DutchUrban.colo.transip.net ??
    relay_domains = dutchurban.nl
    relayhost =


    ??

    Thanks,
    Taree

    According to the main.cf file, ispconfig is not installed on the server or the main.cf must have been replaced after you installed ispconfig. Which tutorial did you use to prepare your server for the ispconfig installation?

    I have installed ISPConfig according to the manual.

    ISPConfig is installed and I am using it.
    So main.cf must have been changed.

    What do I do next?

    Do you have any backups of the main.cf file? Are there any other files that start with 'main' in /etc/postfix/?

    Sorry no back ups.
    No other main files in postfix map.

    Since first install this file looked rather empty.
    Is it not possible my data is also stored in database?

    Hmm I noticed there is a swap file with this name.
    How do I remove that?

    postfix map is filled with mysql-virtual_blalba.cf files

    removed the swap file,

    there is still a (hidden) file with same name: .main.cf.swo

    What is this for?

    I can still not telnet to my server on port 25 either. Even though iptables says everything is open.
    I added a rule to my firewall at ICPConfig to make sure it is open. All other ports telnet fine.

    Did you edit main.cf with vi and did not properly close vi? vi creates files such as .main.cf.swp while the file is open. If you are sure noone else is currently editing main.cf, you can remove .main.cf.swp.

    Any errors in your mail log?

    This is an experimental function that you shouldn't use on production systems. It's supported only on Debian/Ubuntu.

    Would have been good if it would say that under the tab. I use Debian 6 btw.

    Slightly off topic here but I decided to do a new install of Debian.
    I am newbie to networking and do not understand what needs to be changed in the networking file.

    If I go to my isp control panel, details of my VPS are:
    ip address: 141.138.122.122
    gateway: 141.138.122.1
    subnet: 255.255.255.0

    However, I can only find mentioning of local LAN addresses to be filled out for a static address e.g. 192.168.0.100.
    Do I need to fill out made up LAN ip addresses here (like the above 192 address) or do I need to fill out my the addresses I was given by my ISP?
    And what about network address?

    thanks

    You don't need to change anything in the networking configuration.

    I did have to change networking config.
    All tutorials are written from the idea that one is working on a server in a private network. However I am working on a remote server. Nowhere (I have looked at many forums and tutorials) does it talk about this. So got me as a newbie confused. I now understand a lot more about networking, but it took ages. There are still a lot of tutorials out there that do not take into account that a newbie like me does not understand all.

    The tutorial I used to configure and set up Debian for ISPConfig was really good, apart from a few things. Like at the end of the tutorial it says:
    I am on a VPS so does this apply to me? What the heck is OpenVZ and how do I know I have this?

    Hope you get my point. Thanks for your help anyway. Everything is working now as far as I can see. I merely made my points above in the hope people will write better newbie-proof tutorials.
