Hey everyone, I just finished following the Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL guide which was very well done I tried connecting with outlook express and squirremail but both clients cannot connect. I always get a invalid user name or password error :/ I have added the domain and user into my mysql database as instructed. Can anyone help? Thanks
I have the same problem... Trying to connect with Eudora.

After searching some more I found a post from Falco that en email has to be send to the account before the Maildir is created. But doing that got the following result in maillog: Jul 8 22:17:47 fedora postfix/smtpd[11686]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/aliases.db: No such file or directory Jul 8 22:17:48 fedora postfix/master[11075]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 11686 exit status 1 Jul 8 22:17:48 fedora postfix/master[11075]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling

I did a tail -f on /var/log/syslog and this is how my attempted login went...

Can someone post the correct commands to use telnet with smtp-auth to send an email? I wanna test that things are actually working :/

Thanks Other problem is that telnet localhost 25 hangs after Escape character is '^]'. And other things got messed up also. I'll do a clean install.
Did you fix it (by changing the values in /etc/postfix/main.cf and restarting Postfix)? Any errors in your mail log? What's the output of Code: postconf -n and Code: hostname -f ?

Please create an A record for fedora.mellowtown.nl and run Code: postconf -e 'alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases' postconf -e 'alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases' postconf -e 'myorigin = fedora.mellowtown.nl' /etc/init.d/postfix restart
But I want to use mail.xxxxx.nl as address for incomming mail. Do I have to change the hostname of the server to mail.xxxxx.nl?
The A record for mail.mellowtown.nl is already existing, so you don't have to create that one. Change the above commands to Code: postconf -e 'alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases' postconf -e 'alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases' postconf -e 'myorigin = mail.mellowtown.nl' /etc/init.d/postfix restart

But if I remove the password and fill it again, it shows another encrypted word then before. Might the be why I can't log in???
But if I remove the password and fill it again, it shows another encrypted word then before. Might the be why I can't log in??? If I'm not mistaken, MySQL's ENCRYPT() function uses a random salt if none is explicitly given, which means that the same password will always encrypt differently unless you specify the salt to use. MySQL will remember the salt it used (somehow?) but it's designed that way so encrypted stuff can't be reverted back easily (if at all). I can't see this affecting the password issue you're having, but you never know. the ENCRYPT() function uses the system's Crypt library, so unless there's something weird about their relationship, I don't think it's what's causing the issue you're experiencing. If I'm wrong, my apologies, I just thought I'd try to offer some help rather than always just bugging Falco =)
Solved!!! On www.courier-mta.org/authlib/README.authdebug.html I found how to debug the login.
