Subject: [Dovecot] Auto logging-out client
Hi list!
I'm writing because of an issue I'm having with my Postfix-Dovecot
installation. Everything's working fine but when an IMAP client is
idle for some time, Dovecot automatically logs it out.
Jul 26 14:01:16 mail dovecot: imap(nico...@devels.es):
Disconnected: Logged out bytes=1271/7439
This entails errors when trying to send e-mails after this auto
logout, such as:
host devels.es[91.215.158.237] said:
550-Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client,
or login to the
550-IMAP/POP3 server before sending your message.
Which result in a very annoying and continuous proccess of
restarting my mail client.
Is there a way to avoid this auto-logout, or at least configure
the time after I want idle clients to auto-logout?
Thank you very much!
Nicolás
I would suggest that you configure the smtp submission port facility
on your mail server and set your imap/pop clients to send that way.
The "pop before sending" approach is a fairly old and broken hack
(including submitting via port 25, which is frequently blocked by
connectivity providers).
With sendmail the submission port option is basically configured by
default. I don't know about postfix, but I suspect it is there too.

Thanks for your responses!
I just tried configuring the submission port on postfix but the problem
persists even sending by port 587.
About what Harald said, I guess I initially missed the point of the
problem, it was just my conclusion because that error happens always
after the logout message appears, and SMTP authentication is set on my
client, so I deduced the problem had something to do with the logout
thing. The curious thing is it just happens with SMTP, not with
POP3/IMAP protocols.
Thanks again!
Nicolás
