I tried to migrate my mail service (qmail+vpopmail+mysql) to the 64-bit Gentoo platform and almost succeeded, but SMTP-AUTH problem blocked me.
Right now I have no multilib 64-bit hardened Gentoo system with netqmail-1.06, vpopmail-5.4.30-r2, dovecot-2.0.13 and some other stuff. Everything seems working fine, except SMTP-AUTH function. My mailer on this new server shows me: SEND - connected to SMTP server SEND - authenticating (plain)... SEND - Server reports error. The response is: authentication failed (#5.7.1) SEND - authenticating (login)... SEND - Server reports error. The response is: authentication failed (#5.7.1) SEND - WARNING: there were no compatible authentication mechanisms detected Here goes my config /var/qmail/control/conf-smtpd: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TCPSERVER_OPTS="${TCPSERVER_OPTS} -R" QMAIL_SMTP_PRE="${QMAIL_SMTP_PRE} spamdyke -f /etc/spamdyke/spamdyke.conf" QMAIL_SMTP_CHECKPASSWORD="/var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw" [[ -n "${QMAIL_SMTP_CHECKPASSWORD}" ]] && { [[ -z "${QMAIL_SMTP_POST}" ]] && QMAIL_SMTP_POST=/bin/true QMAIL_SMTP_POST="${QMAIL_SMTP_CHECKPASSWORD} ${QMAIL_SMTP_POST}" } ----------------------------------------------------------------------- mail control # ls -la /var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw -rws--x--x 1 root vpopmail 129128 Jul 1 02:18 /var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw Dovecot using vpopmail driver working fine. userdb { driver = vpopmail } May be someone knows how can I solve that problem with SMTP-AUTH? !DSPAM:4e0d108932711953113103!
