Dear exim users.
I've been setting up a mail server, which finaly seems to be
functioning, in as much as I can send / receive messages to the server
internally and externally. this is done using swaks or simple command
line such as:
echo "This is a test." | mail -s Testing [email protected]
However I can't connect via any clients, or through telnet.
However i can't connect with thunderbird, or via telent (it should be
noted that I can openSSL into the dovecot imap server OK and
authentication works there).
This is my telnet session.
telnet mail.exsportee.biz 25
Trying 92.39.247.92...
Connected to mail.exsportee.biz.

The connection never seems to time out either. There is no information
going into the dovecot log, or the exim4 mainlog for this session
At first I thought this was a dovecot problem, but as i say I can
connect to dovecot using the same name / password using the following
line (with the output from the session...)
openssl s_client -connect mail.exsportee.biz:993

This leads me to suspect that I have an issue with my authenticator(s)...
dovecot_login:
driver = dovecot
#the public_name is the type of authentication that dovecot has
been configured to accept
public_name = LOGIN
#SHA512-CRYPT
server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb
# setting server_set_id might break several headers in mails sent
by authenticated smtp. So be careful.
server_set_id = $auth1
#we aren't using plain text logins so this is commented out, but
left available if required
dovecot_plain:
driver = dovecot
public_name = PLAIN
server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb
server_set_id = $auth1
I can confirm that the location of the server socket file is correct,
I've recently changed it from auth-client to auth-userdb. which removed
a 'unable to authenticate: socket file not ready' error (or something
like that :) )
Any help on where to go from here will be greately appreciated.
