I get 2 errors from the esmtp daemon when I connect to the SMTP daemon
from a remote host
For example if I connect locally
[vmail@spiderman etc]$ telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.ipcc.ca ESMTP
EHLO me
250-mail.ipcc.ca Ok.
250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN
250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN X-NETSCAPE-HAS-BUGS
250-XVERP=Courier
250-XEXDATA
250-XSECURITY=NONE,STARTTLS
250-PIPELINING
250-8BITMIME
250-SIZE
250 DSN
AUTH PLAIN
535 Authentication failed.
this is odd, but because I am local I can still go ahead and send a MAIL
FROM: and RCPT TO: commands and the mail is relayed out. From our
remote site:
[apple1:~] davida% telnet mail.ipcc.ca 25
Trying 207.219.210.156...
Connected to mail.ipcc.ca.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 ******************
EHLO www.ticoon.com
502 ESMTP command error
HELO www.ticoon.com
250-mail.ipcc.ca Ok.

502 ESMTP command error
AUTH LOGIn
502 ESMTP command error
MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
250 Ok.
RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
513 Relaying denied.
I don't understand why the EHLO fails on the remote connection, why the
220 response is ***** and why the error from AUTH is now 502 instead of
535 (not that that made more sense). Here I cannot do anything, MAIL
FROM: or ok, but RCPT TO: all generate 513 Relay Denied .... but it wont
let me AUTH
In the maillog the errors for the local user show as
Jul 17 16:20:28 spiderman courieresmtpd:
error,relay=::ffff:127.0.0.1,msg="535 Authentication failed.",cmd: AUTH
PLAIN
but the remote commands show as
Jul 17 16:38:27 spiderman courieresmtpd:
error,relay=::ffff:209.82.14.99,msg="502 ESMTP command error",cmd: XXXX
apple1
Jul 17 16:38:35 spiderman courieresmtpd:
error,relay=::ffff:209.82.14.99,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,to=<davida@ticoon.
com>: 513 Relaying denied.
currently the smtpaccess file is configured as
# By default, enable relaying for localhost.
127.0.0.1 allow,RELAYCLIENT
# allow for this host internal IP
192.168.24.220 allow,RELAYCLIENT
# allow for this host www IP
207.219.210.156 allow,RELAYCLIENT
# ticoon.com
# 209.82.14.99 allow,RELAYCLIENT
# Allow relaying for all.
0 allow,RELAYCLIENT
I commented out the Ticoon IP address because I wanted to test the
access my clients will using to connect from various dialup addresses so
I need to have them SMTP AUTH.
the important parts of esmtpd are;
AUTH_REQUIRED=0
MAILUSER=vmail
MAILGROUP=vmail
PORT=smtp
ACCESSFILE=${sysconfdir}/smtpaccess
AUTHMODULES="authdaemon"
ESMTPAUTH="PLAIN LOGIN CRAM-MD5"
ESMTPAUTH_TLS=""
ESMTPDSTART=YES
I don't know what else to include here. SMTP connections with
recipients to local users works fine, it is only the authenticated relay
outbound that does not work.
Please do not tell me it should work, I know it should work, but it does
not!
