 Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2003 10:08 pm Post subject: Question about Virtual Mailhosting Guide |
 |
|
Long time listener, first time caller...
After about 6 tries on 3 different boxes, I got gentoo installed!! Now I'm setting up my email server following the Virtual Mailhosting System Guide. My question starts here:
Code listing 6.2: Verifying sasl and tls support
| Code: | # telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.domain.com ESMTP Postfix
EHLO domain.com
250-mail.domain.com
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-STARTTLS
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN OTP
250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN OTP
250-XVERP
250 8BITMIME
^]
telnet> quit |
When I telnet into the server... everything looks the same as the author's example (above) EXCEPT for the AUTH lines. This is what I get:
| Code: | 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN OTP DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5
250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN OTP DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 |
I figure this is because I messed up something around Code listing 4.1: Configuring and installing the cyrus-sasl ebuild. There is a step in there for disabling digest and cram in usr/portage/dev-libs/cyrus-sasl/cyrus-sasl.$currentversion.ebuild. Now.. which file is the author referring to? It looks like cyrus-sasl-2.1.12.ebuild is the newest version so that's the one I used for disabling digest and cram... but it didn't seem to disable anything.
Not sure where to go from here...  |

I just set up my mail lserver last week. At that time 1.2.10_r2 was the lastest. It seemed to work for me. The 1.2.12 ebuild looks a little different in that section. I would try the 1.2.10_r2 ebuild so you can verify that it is a problem with the e-build (or a problem with the instructions). The VMS Guide may need to be updated in the case that the new courier-sasl does not accept the disable flags correctly.

| Thanks for the quick reply... I misunderstood the version name (n00b)... I'll try again when I get home from work. |

I got a problem with the sasl authentication. I followed the steps laid out by the virtual mailhost guide, but after setting up sasl, I get the following error when I telnet to port 25 to verify everything;
| Code: |
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 www.gtphikaps.org ESMTP Postfix
421 Error: timeout exceeded
Connection closed by foreign host.
|
Obviously something is wrong. I setup the variables in main.cf like the virtual/mailhost guide said. Since I'm new to this, does anyone have any other ideas?

I get this when connecting to www.gtphikaps.org. There should be 2 AUTH lines in there when it is done correctly. I would retry the courier-imap steps it the guide.
