http://serverfault.com – I have set up an email server stack with Postfix, Dovecot and SquirrelMail. Everything works except SSL communication with the SMTP server. When I manually test the communication by following the instructions here: http://qmail.jms1.net/test-auth.shtml I am able to connect and send email no problem. My main email client is Mac Mail but I have also briefly tried Thunderbird and it failed as well. I have been struggling with this issue for days to no avail so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have attached the verbose server logs as well as the logs from my mac mail client Server l (HowTos)

Stories similar to SMTP AUTH with SSL via Mail clients fail. Successful using command line. Successful without SSL. Ubuntu 10.04, Postfix, Dovecot, squirrelmail stack

I am attempting to set up an email server using Postfix and Dovecot. Both services are starting fine, but when I log into Squirrelmail to send a test email it won't send, and the response from server error is blank. I tried setting up Thunderbird for the test account, and Thunderbird could not detect the server settings, so I tried to put them in manually, and it still wouldn't work.

[ubuntu] postfix configuration 37 weeks 6 days ago

Hello,

Followed this tutorial http://www.debiansystemadmin.com/con...-squirrelmail/ and set up my debian box.

I can send mail from the server, but seem to have issues receiving mail: Here's the tail end of the log file:

Aug 27 11:39:57 myserver dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(info,127.0.0.1): lookup service=dovecot Aug 27 11:39:57 myserver dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(info,127.0.0.1):

I need some help again with the mail server setup. I have managed to get the server to send email from the website, but I would like to setup some mail accounts to receive mail too.

I'm using Webmin, Dovecot, Postfix and Squirrelmail.

So I have been in the process of installing a Postfix Server on my CentOS 6.2 Virtual Private Server.

I have been following this tutorial:

http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-with-postfix-courier...

Because, I have never set up a Mail Server before..

So everything has worked fine up until the 5th page.

I am on step 15.

Looking at your postconf -n output, it looks like postfix isn't configured to use dovecot for SASL auth.

I have configured dovecoat on centOs. When i access email through thunderbird or gmail IMAP. everything goes fine. but when i try to configure using sparrow mail client on Mac osx.

I have a Postfix mail server running, and I'm trying to understand why emails sent to myself@example.com are actually sent to myself@some-server.example.com instead.

On the command line, I send a simple test email:

echo test | mail -s test myself@example.com

In maillog, I see:

Mar 20 23:40:57 some-server sendmail[29680]: r2L3euXm029680: from=root, size=48, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<

I have a mail server set up using virtual users and postfix that i can send mail through using my Windows Phone 8 mail client but when i try and send a test email through Outlook 2013 with or without TLS enabled Outlook times out.

I've been fighting with Dovecot and Postfix for nearly 3 days now - I need some help!...

It seems Dovecot is not generating the private/auth file required for connections.
