Hi all

Deleting the email accounts, closing evolution, then creating the email accounts all over again solved the problem. I'll never hear the end of this from my wife.

OK - could you give me the exact steps you performed?
I mean: You created a new certificate - how did you do that (I mean, basically I know how to do this, but apparently, it did not work...)
And: what settings do you use with Evolution now?
Thanks a lot!

Sure thing. I did several things that did not solve the problem, but you may want to try them as necessary. First was to unmerge / emerge evolution. Then I tried creating a new certificate by verifying my entries in the [req_dn] section of /etc/courier-imap/imapd.cnf and then running mkimapdcert while in the /etc/courier-imap directory. Neither of those fixed the problem.
What fixed the problem was to
1. Startup evolution and go to Tools/Settings...
2. From there, you highlight your email account and press Remove
3. Then you close evolution down
4. When you start it up again, enter your email account settings exactly as before
5. The key points are to choose the IMAP Server type for receiving mail, and to use SSL
Let me know if it works! -RPM |

| for anyone having troubles with the courier-authlib conversion, just try rebooting. I spent most of the afternoon trying this, looking at that, rebooted and it worked fine. |

Ok, the fix for special characters in folder names seems to work.
I'm not using the script at the moment for a few reasons:
i) For Historic reasons I have Multiple Spam Folders, the script only allows for one Spam folder. I guess I need to throw out some spam.
ii) The script doesn't seem to like running as a cron job. I think its something to do with the TERM Environment variable. I have a hacked version of the original scrip that has no output when there is nothing to do so I only get an cron email when something happens. It would be nice if the script had a quiet option to turn off that lovely output when used in a cron job.
iii) The script is very slow to generate the initial wordlist.db. I have a years worth of Spam ~20,000 emails and a similar amount of ham mails, which I used to rebuild the wordlist.db. As yet I have not had the patients to let the script run to completion (I run it in a 1.2GHz VIA C3 MiniITX board). To rebuild my wordlist.db I used bogofilter -B (bluk mode) which is a lot quicker than classifying mails individually. The script should probably be updated to use this technique.
I hope these suggestions are useful

I've been using this setup for over a year now and it's great! But I still have one problem. I can't seem to get a simple perl script using either Net::SMTP or Net::SMTP_auth to relay email outside my network! I've tried many things, but I always get the same error:
| Code: | | Mar 22 23:04:08 porcupine postfix/smtpd[3760]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from porcupine.adelphia.net[192.168.1.2]: 554 <porcupine.adelphia.net[192.168.1.2]>: Client host rejected: Access denied; from=<tenshi> to=<rpmohn> proto=ESMTP helo=<localhost.localdomain> |
Here is the Net::SMTP code I'm testing:
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::SMTP;
$smtp = Net::SMTP->new(192.168.1.2);
if (!$smtp->auth('rpmohn, 'passwd')) {print "auth failed";}
$smtp->mail(tenshi);
$smtp->to(rpmohn@external.com);
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("To: Me\n");
$smtp->datasend("\n");
$smtp->datasend("A simple test message\n");
$smtp->dataend();
$smtp->quit; |
And here's the Net::SMTP_auth code I'm testing:
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::SMTP_auth;
#$method="LOGIN";
$method="PLAIN";
#$method="CRAM-MD5";
$smtp = Net::SMTP_auth->new(192.168.1.2);
if (!$smtp->auth("$method", 'rpmohn, 'passwd')) {print "auth failed";}
$smtp->mail(tenshi);
$smtp->to(rpmohn@external.com);
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("To: Me\n");
$smtp->datasend("\n");
$smtp->datasend("A simple test message\n");
$smtp->dataend();
$smtp->quit; |
No matter what I try, I get auth failed printed out and the above error in messages. Note that the scripts DO work if it is an internal email address even though auth failed still prints out.
Any advise appreciated!
Thanks! -RPM |

What are your smtpd_client_restrictions settings in the postfix/main.cf

|
|
I've had a few problems with the smtpd_client_restrictions line in postfix main.cf (/etc/postfix/main.cf).
When I comment it out it all works, but then I guess it's not authenticated through SASL??
If I leave as the guide suggests:
| Code: |
stmpd_client_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, reject
|
I can't receive mails from outside. I get "... Client host rejected: Access denied ..."
If I edit it to:
| Code: |
smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination
|
it works perfectly fine.... BUT:
What have I actually done? In the guide You use reject NOT reject_unauth_destination.
BTW my smtpd_recipient_restrictions line is the same as the smtpd_client_restrictions above...

Just as in the guide:
| Code: | | smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, reject |
But I must admit that I don't fully understand this line...
Any insight? -RPM |

@MarkG,
thx for the suggestions. Here it works with a cronjob, just like i wrote in the howto. But sure its a nice idea to disable output. I will try to implement some of your sugestions. But this will take some time cause i am a little busy at the moment.
but i really apreciate that you post your experience and all this suggestions!

This sounds promising. I'll give it a try, but I would have the same question: What have I actually done?
EDIT: This seems to have worked. I made the change to my smtpd_client_restrictions only and now I can sent out emails from the commandline to external sites. Why is this change necessary?
Thanks! -RPM |

I would have thought | Code: |
smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject
|
would have been correct, I don't see reject_unauth_destination documented in documentation on smtpd_client_restrictions documentation.
This dosnt answer why rpmohn perl scripts require the permit_my_networks setting. I guess that the the perl script is failing to authenticate via sasl correctly and being allowed as it passes the my_networks check. Anyone understand the Perl script?

You are correct! The reject_unauth_destination restriction is only documented for smtpd_recipient_restrictions, which, BTW, I don't have set at all.

I understand the Perl script well enough, but don't know why Postfix is rejecting my authorization attempts. Is there a debug mode for Postfix that would show more info?

Nope. Run the cpan command and then from the cpan prompt type in install Net::SMTP_auth. Let me know if you find anything. I won't have a chance to play with this again until after this weekend.

I've had a play with the perl scripts and it all seems to work for me. I had to modify them as there was a missing quote on the user name as originaly posted (thats not the problem I hope!). I have tried running the scripts both locally on the mail server and on another client machine on my network. Both give the same results except of the 'connect from unknown[192.168.99.4]' problem see below.
My smtpd_client_restrictions are | Code: | | smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_auth_destination, reject |
which should give the same result default setting in this guide as I'm not sending to an authorised destination.
The plane Net::SMTP script:
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::SMTP;
$smtp = Net::SMTP->new("mail.homedomain");
$smtp->mail("markg\@porthos.homedomain");
$smtp->to("markg\@someware.co.uk");
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("To: Me\n");
$smtp->datasend("\n");
$smtp->datasend("A simple test message\n");
$smtp->datasend("With no auth\n");
$smtp->dataend();
$smtp->quit;
|
I get the expected Access denied, as there is no authorisation
| Code: | Mar 25 13:09:44 porthos postfix/smtpd[29117]: connect from unknown[192.168.99.4]
Mar 25 13:09:44 porthos postfix/smtpd[29117]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[192.168.99.4]: 554 <unknown[192.168.99.4]>: Client host rejected: Access denied; from=<markg@porthos.homedomain> to=<markg@someware.co.uk> proto=ESMTP helo=<localhost.localdomain>
Mar 25 13:09:44 porthos postfix/smtpd[29117]: disconnect from unknown[192.168.99.4]
|
The Net::SMTP_auth script:
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::SMTP_auth;
$method="PLAIN";
$smtp = Net::SMTP_auth->new("mail.homedomain");
#print ($smtp->auth_types());
if (!$smtp->auth("$method", 'markg', 'passwd')) {print "auth failed";}
$smtp->mail("markg\@porthos.homedomain");
$smtp->to("markg\@someware.co.uk");
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("To: Me\n");
$smtp->datasend("\n");
$smtp->datasend("A simple test message\n");
$smtp->datasend("With Auth PLAIN\n");
$smtp->dataend();
$smtp->quit; |
Works with no errors:
| Code: | Mar 25 13:16:56 porthos postfix/smtpd[29158]: connect from unknown[192.168.99.4]
Mar 25 13:16:56 porthos postfix/smtpd[29158]: 204E57E7: client=unknown[192.168.99.4], sasl_method=PLAIN, sasl_username=markg
Mar 25 13:16:56 porthos postfix/cleanup[29159]: 204E57E7: message-id=<20050325131656.204E57E7@porthos.homedomain>
Mar 25 13:16:56 porthos postfix/qmgr[29027]: 204E57E7: from=<markg@porthos.homedomain>, size=394, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Mar 25 13:16:56 porthos postfix/smtpd[29158]: disconnect from unknown[192.168.99.4] |
The only strange thin is this: | Code: | Mar 25 13:16:56 porthos postfix/smtpd[29158]: warning: smtpd_peer_init: 192.168.99.4: address not listed for hostname porthos.homedomain
Mar 25 13:16:56 porthos postfix/smtpd[29158]: connect from unknown[192.168.99.4] |
as I'm running the script on porthos [192.168.99.4] which is the mail server running postfix and dns, which normally has no problem resolving its own name! I think this is unrelated though.
I guess this doesn't help, as it all points to a problem with your server configuration, but you know that

hi,
this guide is really great! After struggling with qmail for a long time, this worked fine after like 1 hour.
But i have a question left: Is it somehow possible to make fetchmail/sa-learn run globally? I would like to make fetchmail run for every user, without the need of user-interaction (well, users only specify .fetchmailrc, but not the cronjob).
Another question that came to my mind: Is there a mail-client who can manage server-side filtering rules (i suppose no, but please correct me;))?

Hi,
I followed this guide to install a mail server and everything is OK, except pop access !
With IMAP, I get my mails in thunderbird without any problem, but with pop3, I don't get anything... I verified the courier-pop daemon is up and running, and everything seems OK. Anyone with an idea ? |
