This was just discussed on the list yesterday.  Dovecot caches user
information in memory and does not support roaming users.  You will
need to switch to SMTP authentication.

POP-before-SMTP is *bad*.


Is there a simple resolution to resolve this issue?  I have looked at
SMTP-AUTH but not sure it will work with vpopmail.


It works.  Just be sure that you have clear passwords enabled in
vpopmail if you want to support CRAM-MD5 authentication.



Quoting Davis Sylvester davis.sylvester...@gmail.com:


Matt what smtp-patch do u suggest!  Can u point me to a current howto?



After reading http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/smtpauth.html this morning,  
I'm hoping for a good answer to Davis' question as well.  Do you think  
the guide at the bottom there is the way to go?


Is migrating to postfix (still with vpopmail) a viable / advisable  
alternative?


thank you all very much,
Joe

[vchkpw] Fwd: VPOPMAIL DOVECOT SMTP-AUTH

We are using POP-before-SMTP for SMTP auth.  Since there is no POP account
anymore no one can send outbound email.
We use vpopmail to manage all domain and virtual domains.

Is there a simple resolution to resolve this issue?  I have looked at
SMTP-AUTH but not sure it will work with vpopmail.

Thanks in advance!

2010-09-10 Thread Remo Mattei
yes you should use smtp-auth that's what I use and I have had this for 
over 5 years now..


Works all over the world as long as the internet connection does not 
block port 25 hehe, which then I create an iptables rule where using an 
upper port goes to the qmail server port 25 and I can sent without any 
problems


Just my 2 cents.
