|
|
Hi,
I am trying to set up a mail setup as follows:
Sending:
Email Client->Cyrus-SASL->Postfix ->Internet
Receiving:
Internet->Postfix->Procmail->Courier-IMAP->Email Client
I followed the instructions at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Email_System_for_the_Home_Network.
-Receiving seems to be working just fine so far.
Sending mail works with sylpheed and kmail. But it doesn't work with thunderbird. I haven't figured out if it is just a Thunderbird issue or a server issue, even though everything seems to point at a thunderbird issue right now.
My sylpheed account settings are:
Send tab:
SMTP authentication (SMTP AUTH): checked
Authentication method: automatic
SSL tab:
Send (SMTP): Use STARTTLS command to start SSL session
My Kmail account settings are:
General tab:
Server requires authentication: checked
Security tab:
Encryption: TLS
Authentication Method: PLAIN
My thunderbird smtp settings are:
port: 25
use username and password: checked
use secure connection: TLS is checked
With thunderbird I get the following error when sending:
Apr 30 22:06:43 sonata postfix/smtpd[22798]: SSL3 alert read:fatal:bad certificate
Apr 30 22:06:43 sonata postfix/smtpd[22798]: SSL_accept:failed in SSLv3 read client certificate A
Apr 30 22:06:43 sonata postfix/smtpd[22798]: SSL_accept error from sonata[127.0.0.1]: 0
Apr 30 22:06:43 sonata postfix/smtpd[22798]: 22798:error:14094412:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert bad certificate:s3_pkt.c:1052:SSL alert number 42:
With KMail and Sylpheed, sending messages through my local smtp server works. They both ask me for a password too, but thunderbird doesn't.
I might try creating a brand new profile, to see if that helps. Or I might try the most recent version of Mozilla Mail.

I still haven't found a solution. My only solution for now is to use anything other than Thunderbird. KMail and sylpheed-claws work, as well as Evolution. |

KMail is a great client by the way. It's actually made me start liking KDE! |

i found a solution:
go to thunderbird tools->options->advanced->manage certificates
click on Import and import the /etc/ssl/postfix/server.crt manually.
after that i got asked for the password when sending a mail (that didnt happen before) and sending works now!
it seems to be a bug with thunderbird. tomorrow i will try configuring kmail.
good night! |

Actually I lied, I use Thunderbird at work (on Windows).
I agree, Thunderbird is the best IMAP client for Winblows. |
