Hello everyone, I just set up an Ubuntu 8.10 server, which purpose is to act as a web server and e-mail server.
I have courier installed (courier-imap + courier-imap-ssl), and I also want to use courier as my smtp server (courier-mta and courier-mta-ssl). I configured Courier (using the web admin gui) and installed squirrelmail for a webmail client. I configured squirrelmail, and it is running flawlessly. I can send mail, receive mail, etc. No problems whatsoever (I am sending this e-mail from it). However, most of the people that will be using this server use Microsoft Outlook or Thunderbird. I tested both Outlook and Thunderbird, and although both can receive mail, neither can send mail. So my first thought was to make sure telnet could connect. Telnet does connect on port 25 and 465, and I was even able to send an e-mail via telnet commands. I then ran: $lsof -i :25 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME couriertc 1397 daemon 3u IPv6 497068 TCP *:smtp (LISTEN) $ lsof -i :465 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME couriertc 1432 daemon 3u IPv6 497107 TCP *:ssmtp (LISTEN) When I try sending an e-mail via Thunderbird or Outlook, here is what is in /var/log/mail.log: Mar 28 13:01:27 lucy imapd: LOGIN, user=jonnale, ip=[::ffff:66.24.215.191], port=[57210], protocol=IMAP It then eventually times out or just disconnects. Thunderbird+outlook gives me the error that the SMTP server is rejecting connections and that it cannot connect. Also, Thunderbird+Outlook never even prompt me for my password when connecting to the SMTP server. Does this mean I am not authenticating, despite it saying I am logging in in mail.log? Note: I tried sending mail with the following SMTP settings: No Secure Connection: Port 25 Secure Connection: Port 25 (TLS), Port 465 (SSL) Neither will send the mail from Outlook or Thunderbird) Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
