Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL

TT:


I described to you how to download the tar.gz file from webmin.com, not apt-get it. If you apt-get it, you should make sure you install all the modules by hand.

Just edit /etc/default/spamassasin and set:

Code:

ENABLED=1

I'm not sure what that means...

I'm sure Debian isn't blocking the mail, but the firewall on the machine might.
Try

Code:

iptables -F

and see what going on after that.

If you followed the how-to and you are sure about not making typos, then it should work, I tried it at least twice, even ported one to Debian Testing.
It's true, you have to parse the logs back and forth many time till you get it the first time, but it's working like a charm.
Don't give up!

on boot it now gives me

Code:

spamassassin mail filter daemon:spamd

which means this I was able to copy it down

Code:

Starting ClamAV daemon: LibClamAV Warning: ********************************************************

I'm reading their update page now

And I now also have this on boot

Code:

starting SASL Authentication Daemon failed

after I edited the file /etc/default/spamassasin I tried outlook again, which now throws up the error

Code:

The server responded with an error. Account: 'rockinghamgateway.com', Server: 'rockinghamgateway.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR AVG POP3 Proxy Server: Cannot connect to the mail server!', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC90

I read in another post here some thing about you saying removing the Proxy Server on one line and if that didn't work to remove all, wasn't that the /etc/pstfix/main.cf Thinking ( -ERR AVG POP3 Proxy Server )

/var/log/mail.warn

Code:

Oct  1 01:52:39 localhost dccproc[1478]: socket(UDP): Address family not supported by protocol
Oct  1 01:52:43 localhost dccproc[1484]: socket(UDP): Address family not supported by protocol

/var/log/mail.info

I have alot of this in there

Code:

Oct  1 02:11:43 localhost postfix/smtpd[1526]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from 59-115-152-180.dynamic.hinet.net[59.115.152.180]: 550 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table; from=<@nifty.ne.jp> to=<[email protected]> proto=SMTP helo=<59-115-152-180.dynamic.hinet.net>

/var/log/mail.err

Code:

Oct  1 01:52:43 localhost dccproc[1484]: socket(UDP): Address family not supported by protocol

it's funny I dont see my local IP come up in any of the log's

I downloaded a Port scanner to see what ports were open



would i need to open port 113 on my router as well.

OK so I can finally receive mail with Outlook, but I still can't send. The firewall ended up being the reason that I couldnt connect to the mail server.

Everytime I try to send an email with outlook, it keeps prompting me for my password.

This is what mail.log says:

Code:

Sep 30 23:54:45 mail imaplogin: Connection, ip=[::ffff:[I]myipaddress[/I]]
Sep 30 23:54:45 mail imaplogin: LOGIN, user=admin@[I]domain[/I].com, ip=[::ffff:[I]myipaddress[/I]], protocol=IMAP
Sep 30 23:54:45 mail postfix/smtpd[4497]: connect from h-[I]myipaddress[/I].nycmny.covad.net[[I]myipaddress[/I]]
Sep 30 23:54:45 mail postfix/smtpd[4497]: warning: SASL authentication problem: unknown password verifier
Sep 30 23:54:45 mail postfix/smtpd[4497]: warning: h-[I]myipaddress[/I].nycmny.covad.net[[I]myipaddress[/I]]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed
Sep 30 23:54:45 mail postfix/smtpd[4497]: lost connection after AUTH from h-[I]myipaddress[/I].nycmny.covad.net[[I]myipaddress[/I]]
Sep 30 23:54:45 mail postfix/smtpd[4497]: disconnect from h-[I]myipaddress[/I].nycmny.covad.net[[I]myipaddress[/I]]

 

What's in /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf and /etc/pam.d/smtp? Please compare these files with the ones from the tutorial.

 

This is my /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf:

Code:

pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain login
allow_plaintext: true
auxprop_plugin: mysql
sql_hostnames: 127.0.0.1
sql_user: mail_admin
sql_passwd: [I]mypassword[/I]
sql_database: mail
sql_select: select password from users where email = '%u'
log_level: 7

This is my /etc/pam.d/smtp:

Code:

auth    required   pam_mysql.so user=mail_admin passwd=[I]mypassword[/I] host=127.0.0.1 db=mail table=users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=password crypt=1
account sufficient pam_mysql.so user=mail_admin passwd=[I]mypassword[/I] host=127.0.0.1 db=mail table=users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=password crypt=1

 

Did you run

Code:

mkdir -p /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd

and do you have

Code:

PIDFILE="/var/spool/postfix/var/run/${NAME}/saslauthd.pid"

in /etc/init.d/saslauthd?

 

Looks like I didn't create it, I have now

thanks for tip falko

TT

 

I did follow the tutorial and all the discussions about the topic, but somehow I am stuck

Everything works just fine, the only thing that doesn't work is sending emails via Thunderbird! SMTP-Auth is selected and configured.

When I test my setup with telnet I get the right response.

My mail.warn-Log says:
Oct 2 17:58:33 localhost postfix/smtpd[27775]: warning: xx-x-xxx-xx.xx.xx.xx[xx.xx.xx.xx]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed

Testing saslauthd failes:
#testsaslauthd -u [email protected] -p xxx -f /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/mux
#0: NO "authentication failed"

when I try w/o the socket path:
#testsaslauthd -u [email protected] -p xxx
#connect() : No such file or directory

I checked the config files over and over again.

Do you have a clue, where I might find the answer?

Thanks for your efforts and replies!
Cheers

Yes I did run mkdir -p /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd, according to the directions in the tutorial and these files were created by SASL: mux mux.accept saslauthd.pid

Yes I already have

Code:

PIDFILE="/var/spool/postfix/var/run/${NAME}/saslauthd.pid"

in /etc/init.d/saslauthd.

I dont know if this makes a difference, but the mail server is running as a DomU (Xen guest OS). The Dom0 and DomU are both running Debian Sarge 3.1.

 

Please open a new thread, this one's already long enough.

 

I don't know what's wrong with your setup, but you must have done something differently. I know that it's working for me. Maybe it's a good idea to reinstall the whole system and make sure you follow the tutorial as close as possible.

 

I tried to retry the entire installation, the problem is that I want to apt-get --purge remove all of the packages used in the HOWTO, but that would end up deleting my mysql db's on this machine which I definitely do not want to do.

So I decided to try some more googling and decided to try this sasl troubleshooting.

Code:

mail:~# testsaslauthd -u mail_admin -p mail_admin_password
0: NO "authentication failed"

What does this mean?

I had the same problem.
See this thread for more options.

Hope it helps.
