I'm currently using Linux Fedora 4. I have created few test user like web1_test, web1_admin, and web1_jegan. In OE, i define the account name as [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected]. What is d correct configuration in email account properties?? And how should i check the error log in /var/log/ ???

 

The user name in OE should be web1_test, web1_admin, web1_jegan, ...
Make sure you enable "Server needs authentication." in your email account settings in OE, otherwise you won't be allowed to send emails!

 

Hello,

I have followed the steps and installed the latest ISPConfig. Create an e-mail account for myself. I am having problem sending e-mail using any e-mail client (receive works fine). .Sending and receiving using webmail works. I used outlook as well as Thunderbird. On thunderbird set the Use Secure connection: TLS if available . When trying to send the e-mail the Status display show " delivering mail" and then get an error message "Resonse received is 554: <[email protected]>: Relay access denied consult the online help for your e-mail program.."

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,

You have to enable something like "Server requires authentication." for that account in your email client, then it will work.

 

I have enabled this in outlook and still cannot send the mail.

Here's a short tutorial about how to configure Outlook for SMTP-AUTH:

Thanks, I followed the steps and still getting the same error.

I noticed one more thing. The mail that sent using outlook appears in the /home/www/Sent Item file.

I thought you couldn't send emails with Outlook?

Are you using the correct username and password in Outlook?

 

Yes. I am using the web1_username and the correct password. The mail that I send with outlook appears in the /home/www/Sent Item file. But it doesn't go out to the recipient.

Thanks,

I use imap in outlook. Now I am having problem receiveing e-mail after rebooting the server. The mail is getting delivered to the procmail and is available in the direacory /home/www/web1/Maildir/new, but webmail or the outlook client does not receive it.

 

Mails are are being delivered in the inbox (webmail/outlook)after a long delay(few hours). But the received mail shows up in the /home/www/web1/user/web1_user1/Maildir/new immediately. Still cannot send e-mail from outlook but can send from webmail.

I think I am using courier-imap / courier-pop3. I do not know how to check this. I have selected MailDir under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email.


Thanks,
Piyo

 

Can you run

Code:

telnet localhost 25

and then issue

Code:

ehlo localhost

as described at the bottom of http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_suse_10.0_p4? What's the output?

You can check that with

Code:

netstat -tap

 

Following are the output:

telnet localhost 25

Ok, you're not using Courier which means you have to disable Maildir under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email!

 

OK I did that and now receive mail works fine.However, I would liike to use the MailDir. How can I use Courier POP/IMAP?

Still cannot send mail from outlook, maillog doesn't show anything about sending a mail. where can i look for any smtp log?

Thanks,
Piyo
