The lmtp socket is there.

Interesting... couldn't stop cyrus and all I got was the red !!, no further explanation.

The files you suggested I rm didn't exist to begin with.

EDIT: Yes, they do. I moved the db dir earlier while poking around at stuff and didn't move it back. I moved it back, but before and after rm'ing those files, it continued not to let me in.

I did reboot my server with cyrus out of the default runlevel as a way of getting it to stop. Now it stops and starts when I tell it to.

ok, with those db files out of the way, once you restart cyrus, they should be recreated

the login issue - a concern, but less of an immediate concern
first and foremost i want to get rid of the 'timed out waiting for server greeting' issue on the lmtp connection

you can force a retry with 'postfix flush', then check out the logs to see if lmtp is still giving us grief

if it is, time for thinking cap.
if not, it narrows the issue down to simply the login failure

this just stinks of something somewhere being corrupted. The good news, once everything is set up with cyrus and oprational, you just rarely if ever have to touch it. Normal operation, the db files and whatnot just dont get corrupted (I'm at ~2 years on my current install without having to touch it).

Just the headache getting things going at the beginning.

OK, did a flush, moved mail.log and mail.warn to backup files (to make it easier to see new entries), reloaded and restarted postfix, even restarted the server, but now all I can see is postfix starting normally. Nothing at all appears in the logs about my login failure.

I think what I'll do when I'm properly awake is re-do the postfix/cyrus install from scratch, reading both the how-to and this thread carefully. Somewhere between my doing that and your sporting a stylish thinkin' cap, we'll figure it out.

Are you sure the password in MySQL should be plain text? Nothing gets hashed somewhere?

Shouldn't need to do that. If anything, uninstalling cyrus, nuking any leftover files (except for config files), reinstalling cyrus, should do the trick.

Whatever you do, im convinced now your main.cf is fine, so don't lose that - that's where you do most of your work anyway. But hopefully it won't come to that.

Your logs should in fact be fairly empty, unless you're doing a good bit of inbound SMTP traffic. I Just sent a test message through to webmaster from 'apr19test', if that ended up where it's supposed to end up, then all that's left is the login issue for the imap side.

yessir. Unfortunately not every piece of this puzzle can work with encrypted entries in a DB, so we either have to maintain multiple DB's or just shuck crypto.

I'm already getting spam! Jeebus. And maybe something else might be wrong, too. I'm reading "over quota" in the log:

out of curiousity:

Code:

ls /var/imap/domain


far as the spam goes, adding those RBL's to the mix should take care of the bulk of it. One thing at a time i suppose

no that's fine. that means no mailboxes have been autocreated yet, that's what i was looking to check.

so let's do this:
Code:

/etc/init.d/cyrus stop
/etc/init.d/postfix stop
emerge -C cyrus-imapd
rm -rf /var/imap
rm -rf /var/spool/imap
emerge cyrus-imapd #with autocreate patch enabled via USE of course
/etc/init.d/cyrus start
/etc/init.d/postfix start


also, just in case this is throwing anything off and corrupting our mailbox databases somehow, in main.cf, that setting for mydestination, double check and make sure $mydomain is not in the list (it should only be $myhostname and localhost, assuming $myhostname is set to something other than 'audiodef.com' - I'd figured it was set to 'serverdef.audiodef.com')

give that a go, im going to try and break my setup and shed some light right quick.

Check. Still not.

Check. It was set to audiodef.com, but I tried serverdef.audiodef.com - no difference. Still can't login to check email on webmaster.

I'm going to grab some chow and check back in a bit.

I've also asked Mark at vr.org if there was anything that could be stopping things in a new server's default set up. He said no, but he offered to take a look, which is nice because they state in their FAQ that it's not what they do. I'm taking him up on that.

are you still getting the quota error? Different error in the logs?

The 'unable to login' is a separate, final piece to this.
One which we'll cover off as soon as Postfix is routing things to Cyrus successfully via lmtp, mailboxes are being autocreated, etc.
The login piece may be as simple as updating the SQL query to adjust to some change in the cyrus auxprop mechanism - but until we have mail flowing/routing/etc no point in covering off the login.

Soon as the guys from work stop bothering me I'm going to go through the entire install on a spare box and see what i can find.

ok, i can repro the login failure error
However, on a brand new virgin install, the lmtp routing is fine.

I'm going to keep digging, there are some changes we're going to have to make and I'm sorting out exactly which ones.

stay tuned

EDIT: bingo

cyrus-sasl for me was built without mysql support
and upon login, i was getting these errors in auth.log

Code:

_sasl_plugin_load failed on sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: ldapdb


I set up my package.use like so, and re-emerged cyrus-sasl:

Code:

# cat /etc/portage/package.use/sasl
dev-libs/cyrus-sasl berkdb crypt gdbm pam ssl mysql


Restarted postfix, restarted cyrus.

Code:


ricker log # telnet localhost 143

I guess the only other thing worth noting, which is completely unrelated to this, I omitted queue_minfree, since Postfix has a sensible default for that set already if you leave it out. Doc updating accordingly.

Spotted another error that will cause authenticated SMTP relay to fail

/etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf

remove the extra quotes around the '@' sign
e.g. change
Code:

sql_select: SELECT plainpass FROM aliases WHERE email = '%u'@'%r'


to

Code:

sql_select: SELECT plainpass FROM aliases WHERE email = '%u@%r'


the rest of the guide is devoid of this mistake

So at the moment I've tested:
-lmtp communication between postfix and cyrus is successful
-autocreate is working fine as a result of the above
-login to IMAP is no longer failing now that I've built cyrus-sasl with 'mysql' USE enabled
-authenticated SMTP relay ("ESMTP auth") is now working, after correcting the typo in /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf

I'm sure "webmaster@serverdef" leapt out at you as it did at me.

So this means I have to change something somewhere so that it's looking for "webmaster@audiodef.com" instead.

/etc/conf.d/hostname = serverdef. Should I change that to audiodef.com?

/var/imap/domain still doesn't exist, but!

It doesn't look like I'm getting the quota errors any longer.

I already had cyrus built with the correct use flags, but I copied over the latest main.cf you posted (changed the IP address and removed the 29), changed serverdef.audiodef.com to just audiodef.com, changed the mail@localhost password to access maildb and the corresponding conf files that password shows up in (not necessary in hindsight, I was just poking around and troubleshooting in case I made a simple typo somewhere), updated smtpd.conf to remove the extra quotes, restarted everything, and now I do not get a login error.

I just had my gf, who was sitting next to me at her computer while I was typing this, send me a test email from her account and it went through!

Break out the beer, bro.

Now I need to create mailboxes for my accounts to replace what I'd been doing with Godaddy. Sending a test email from my regular @audiodef.com account didn't go through and I'm guessing it's because my MX record is expecting to do something from my VPS instead of through Godaddy now.

Hm. I'm getting an over quota error in a different way.

I set up a tbird account for my regular email address (I'll PM it to you if it will help for you to know it) and it promptly downloaded the spam I'd gotten. I think I'd been having Godaddy do some filtering for me, which I can address in a bit. When I tried to delete a message, tbird said nope, can't do it because you're over quota. That struck me as odd...

Can't seem to connect to send mail. In tbird, I set as an outgoing mail server:

server name: audiodef.com
port 465
SSL/TLS
normal pass
user webmaster@audiodef.com

Did I do this wrong?

If you try and login with simply 'webmaster', cyrus will append a default realm to the login string (in this case serverdef)
if you try to login with the full 'webmaster@audiodef.com', it should take it exactly as you type it

I just tested with the guinea pig account i had you create me earlier, and that seemed to take ok far as inbound mail goes.
I sent myuser@audiodef an email from my other account, and it's there in Thunderbird

Sent a message *from* myuser@ to my other account, still waiting on it, but it may be caught in my company's filters :)

Should be on port 25 still (SMTPS is something entirely different) using STARTTLS

Whereas IMAP should be on port 993, using SSL/TLS (though, as you have it set up now, port 143 without any SSL of any sort works)

Thus far, Thunderbird just times out while trying to connect to audiodef.com to send mail, even with STARTTLS on port 25.

Another thing that's bugging me is before I set up postfix, I was using 27% of my server's storage allotment. Now it's 46%. I don't think this should be taking up that much room. 8O

I'm also getting the over quota message in mail.log again.

Went to /var/imap/db and noticed that du -h db shows 45M. I shouldn't have 45M worth of mail! 8O The db.backup files are each 11M.

Alright... I've enabled pop3s because I don't need to be able to access my email from anywhere and I do need to be conservative about server storage. With that, I've gotten my regular mailboxes in Thunderbird working, plus the new webmaster@. But that's only for receiving. I'm still not able to send despite playing with a variety of settings for the outgoing mail server.

Once I can solve that and figure out what's eating several GB of space, I'd be all set.

Really helpful folks at vr.org. 8)

Mark added

Code:

smtps inet n - n - - smtpd


To /etc/postfix/master.cf. I can now send mail to myself, but send fails when I try to send mail to other domains. I get a 5.7.1 relay access denied error.

I wonder if this is something I need to pay attention to.

only in the sense that authentication in general is the crux of the relaying denied issue

you were getting relay denied because no auth was provided, and the recipient domain was non-local.

One thing to remember when setting up authentication on your mail client, just like with the imap login, it has to be the full 'user@domain' and not just 'user'


'course, soon as you're happy with the new setup, need to kill off the other two MX records, and leave just 'audiodef.com' - i actually added a transport table to my postfix install here so that mail to your domain would have a hard-coded path, otherwise it might have ended up at smtp.secureserver.net :)
