Ports 25 and 587 are configured very differently in terms of mail acceptance. Port 25 is (generally) unauthenticated and accepts mail for local recipients, regardless of source. It shouldn't accept mail for non-local recipients from other than a very tightly defined set of IPnumbers without authentication - or it will be an open relay. Authenticating through port 25 for non-local delivery has been depreciated for some time (there is a way to do it with postfix, but it's not in the default configuration). Your log, above, for port 587 delivery attempts isn't showing anything "special" except an authentication failure. Port 587 is handled by postfix, and your authentication is backended by SASL. Check that your saslauthd is running, and properly configured -- including looking in the correct place for users (/etc/passwd for local vs. a db for virtual users). If it's using passwd and you recently changed the pw for your host login you'll need to update that with K-9. You may want to look back in your logs to see if you can see where 587 authentication last worked and then check what may have changed since then - e.g., updates/changes that may have broken something. By the way, the dovecot authentication failures shown in your earlier message today: Oct 9 05:07:53 home auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser=<me> rhost=192.168.2.6 user=<me> would also seem to point to a password mismatch. So, the first thing I'd likely do is update the pw on both the "sending" and "receiving" configurations in K-9. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
