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
You indicate that you configured the submission port, but did you
configure the imap/pop client to use it? I.e., explicitly set/change
the send options on the client, including having it use port 587 and
explicitly giving it the id/pw for authenticating against that
service?

Hi,
Yes, I've changed the config on the client too, but now I'm not 100%
sure it's working well. I've just configured a client with SMTP port
587, but the line in the log shows still be using port 25:
Jul 27 13:53:31 mail postfix/smtp[27598]: B16EF1008D0:
to=<postfixtr...@gmail.com>, relay=*devels.es[91.215.158.237]:25*,
delay=0.7, delays=0.11/0.08/0.3/0.21, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 OK
id=1Suk2y-0003P3-Tq)
Is that the correct behavior? Any additional ideas of why could this
problem be happening?
Thanks so much for your help!
Nicolás
