Hi, I'm trying to configure courier so that the only way to login in SMTP is via the users I defined in the userdb system, but I cannot figure out how to make this work, my smtp clients just get "535 Authentication failed" replies. Here is what I did:
- Edited /usr/lib/courier/etc/esmptd and set the ESMTPAUTH value to "LOGIN CRAM-MD5" - Ran the following commands : userdb smtp/userA set systempw=userApassword home=/home/mail/smtp/userA makeuserdb courier restart - I ensured that the /home/mail/smtp/userA folder exists and is accessible by the user courier is running under (courier) I'm using the Thunderbird email client to do the tests, and I have setup the account to send "userA" as the login, "userApassword" as the password and not to use any SSL/TLS as I want to implement this later on once the basic stuff works. I also changed it to use "smtp/userA" as the login name, but to no avail. I also changed the ESMTPAUTH value to include PLAIN as the first one, but still no luck. The list of authentication modules installed in courier is the default full list, but even limiting it to only authuserdb did not help either. I do see the incoming connection in the log file, but it clearly states that there is an authentication error. And in the error file, I get the following message : courieresmtp: authdaemon: failed to connect to mysql server (server=mysql.example.com, userid=admin): Unknown MySQL server host 'mysql.example.com' (1) The thing is that I only need userdb access, I don't see why it keeps trying on the MySQL side. What am I doing wrong here?
