[Dovecot] Error
I tested POP3 access from my laptop's Outlook which is on the same
subnet as the dovecot/postfix server (so there's no firewall in between
them & was able to get the emails in Outlook with following statuses
shown when "Test Connection" is clicked:

[Dovecot] POP3 connection issue & SASL not compiled in
After I've configured dovecot for SSL according to the info given in the link below: https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-6671 (tried both POP3 & secure POP3 & got the same result) I tested POP3 access from my unblocked (no firewall rule for outgoing) broadband PC's Outlook to connect to the postfix/dovecot server & got the following : Tasks Status = Establish network connection Completed Find outgoing mail server (SMTP)Completed Find incoming mail server (POP3) Completed Log onto incoming mail server (PO... Send test e-mail message Completed (yep, this email was received in postfix mailbox) & seconds later, the following messages returned: Log onto incoming mail server (POP3): The specified server was found, but there was no response from the server. Please verify that the port and SSL information is correct. To access these settings close this dialog, then click More Settings and click on the Advanced tab. Find incoming mail server (POP3): Outlook could not connect to the incoming mail server (POP3). The problem could be the server name or port, or your server may not support SSL. Verify your port and SSL settings in More Settings under the Advanced tab. Q1: What do I need to provide to this list for further troubleshooting? Q2: I have the following log entry in /var/log/mailog : Mar 31 10:48:36 hostname postfix/smtpd[22258]: warning: smtpd_sasl_auth_enable is true, but SASL support is not compiled in Is this related to my POP3 connection issue? Q3: Is the following related to the sasl issue in Q2 & the POP3 connection issue ? [root@host /etc/sysconfig]# saslauthd -v <== expectg postfix to be listed below saslauthd 2.1.19 authentication mechanisms: getpwent kerberos5 pam rimap shadow ldap [root@host /etc/sysconfig]# rpm -qa | grep -i sasl cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.19-5.EL4 cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.19-5.EL4 cyrus-sasl-ntlm-2.1.19-5.EL4 cyrus-sasl-2.1.19-5.EL4 cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.19-5.EL4 cyrus-sasl-gssapi-2.1.19-5.EL4 warning: only V3 signatures can be verified, skipping V4 signature cyrus-sasl-sql-2.1.19-5.EL4 The above cyrus/sasl rpms are old existing packages that were already there in the server a couple of years ago & well before I installed postfix & dovecot in this server. Wondering if they interfere with postfix sasl authentication. There's no issue with this postfix+dovecot box sending & receiving emails.

Re: [Dovecot] Rejected mails
Sending outgoing emails from this dovecot/postfix server is Ok (ie emails received at destination) but incoming mails keep getting the logs below : smtp.myportaltech.com[202.6.163.31]:25: Connection timed out Feb 21 16:37:04 hostname postfix/smtp[1381]: 8B35C200060: to=, relay=none, delay=30, delays=0.1/0.01/30/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to smtp.myportaltech.com[202.6.163.31]:25: Connection timed out) >From this postfix server, if I tried doing "telnet 202.6.163.31 25" it won't respond. That is the public IP address. If I issue "telnet private_IP_address 25" , it responds. My firewall colleague said it's not feasible to create a firewall rule from this server to its own external public address - is this a valid comment? I'm not sure if this is the issue but I've also defined smtp.myportaltech.com in /etc/hosts to point to my server's private address but seems like smtp/postfix (or dovecot?) is still trying to connect to the external private address when it attempts to connect to smtp.myportaltech.com Thanks Sun
Re: [Dovecot] Rejected mails
When I login to take a look this morning, etc/postfix/master.cf already is non-verbose : smtp inet n - n - - smtpd So whatever I sent previously from maillog is captured based on non-verbose. Anything else I can provide? Should I reduce the debug_peer_level in main.cf from 2 to 1 ? Sun
Re: [Dovecot] Rejected mails
In /etc/postfix/master.cf: smtp inet n - n - - smtpd -v I just have to remove the "-v" & then restart postfix? I'll only get to do it tomorrow as it's night time now. Thanks Sun
[Dovecot] Rejected mails
I'm getting closer, now with SMTP permitted to whole of Internet to connect to my SMTP/postfix server & for my postfix server to connect out to public Internet on tcp 25 as well. I send emails from permitted domain's SMTP servers with "Receipt Acknowledgemt" & the ack returned said it was delivered but somehow there's no mail in the mailbox & using the site below to test, it gave Rejected : http://legacy.zoneedit.com/whois.html OK, connected to gate1.mds.com.sg... < 220 gate1.mds.com.sg ESMTP > HELO edit.dnsvr.com < 250 gate1.mds.com.sg > MAIL FROM: < 250 sender ok > RCPT TO: < 550 #5.1.0 Address rejected. The recipient_id is basically a Linux OS id in my SMTP server.

[Dovecot] test emails did not arrive at SMTP server : after dovecot installation
Just set up postfix & it's running on my RHES 4.2 box. Immediately after postfix is up, I test sending emails from a permitted domain (ahhh, on this postfix server's domain firewall, we even have a firewall rule which permits Tcp25 from those few sending domains' SMTP servers) using an email client to sender_id@[IP_address_of_the_postfix_server] & the /var/log/maillog on the postfix server indicated the email arrives at the postfix server (with some errors though) : # grep recipient_id /var/log/maillog* maillog:Feb 15 11:41:52 hostname postfix/smtpd[6891]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from gate1.mds.com.sg[203.126.130.157]: 554 5.7.1 : Relay access denied; from= to= proto=ESMTP helo= maillog:Feb 15 13:43:20 hostname sendmail[7688]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(recipient_id): can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/): Permission denied Then I installed dovecot rpm on my RHES box : uninstall it as it's an old version & reinstall with a newer version & start up dovecot as well. I did not test sending to sender_id@domain_name at that time because the domain I purchased from a domain provider/registrar has yet to be registered in our ISP's DNS. Subsequently I registered the following A, MX & NS records with our ISP : A: myportaltech.com. IN A 202.6.163.31 A: smtp.myportaltech.com. IN A 202.6.163.31 PTR: 31.163.6.202.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR smtp.myportaltech.com. MX: myportaltech.com. IN MX 10 smtp.myportaltech.com. NS: myportaltech.com.IN NS ns1.businessexprezz.com. NS: myportaltech.com.IN NS ns2.businessexprezz.com. The above myportaltech is just a fictitious name of my domain but I can provide the actual domain name if needed. After the above records have been propagated to all other DNSes, I test sending email from the same permitted domain, this time using domain name & the email never arrives & I did not receive a 'bounced mail' notification too. Then I test sending from the same domain to recipient_id@[202.6.163.31] & this time round, the test email never show up in /var/log/maillog* anymore. The network/security guys confirmed that the firewall logs did not show any denied SMTP records. So how do I go about troubleshooting this? Is this a DNS record entries issue, firewall/network issue, related to dovecot or something within my postfix server? Thanks Sun

[Dovecot] Dovecot can't start with error pop3-login & imap-login not supported protocol family
I've done the installation (rpm downloaded from the RHES4 link given by Oli below) but dovecot won't start, it gave the error pop3-login & imap-login not supported by protocol. I'm sure with a much older version (in my previous post) of dovecot, I'm able to start up dovecot & it did not give this error.

Re: [Dovecot] help with dovecot installation dependencies
Thanks very much Will get the RHES 4 packages tomorrow as not in office now. Just hope they can be "rpm" installed right away without compiling. Can the 2.0 RHEL5 packages run on RHEL 4.x OS ?

[Dovecot] help with dovecot installation dependencies
I'm on RHES 4.x I downloaded 2 dovecot RPM packages from http://packages.sw.be/dovecot/ dovecot-1.0.13-1.el4.rfx.i386.rpm 13-Nov-2010 22:15 1.8M RHEL4 and CentOS-4 x86 32bit and dovecot-0.99.13-1.2.el4.test.i386.rpm 21-Feb-2005 16:57 693K RHEL4 and CentOS-4 x86 32bit The first rpm fails with error below : # rpm -i ./dovecot-1.0.13-1.el4.rfx.i386.rpm warning: ./dovecot-1.0.13-1.el4.rfx.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6 error: Failed dependencies: libmysqlclient.so.14(libmysqlclient_14) is needed by dovecot-1.0.13-1.el4.rfx.i386 I have a hard time trying to locate an rpm that contains libmysqlclient.so.14 & have no luck : # rpm -i ./mysql-libs-5.1.42-4.el6.i686.rpm warning: ./mysql-libs-5.1.42-4.el6.i686.rpm: V3 RSA/MD5 signature: NOKEY, key ID f21541eb error: Failed dependencies: libcrypto.so.10 is needed by mysql-libs-5.1.42-4.el6.i686 libssl.so.10 is needed by mysql-libs-5.1.42-4.el6.i686 rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by mysql-libs-5.1.42-4.el6.i686 rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by mysql-libs-5.1.42-4.el6.i686 rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 is needed by mysql-libs-5.1.42-4.el6.i686 Then I installed the 2nd dovecot rpm successfully but its filename indicated it's a "test" version : # rpm -i ./dovecot-0.99.13-1.2.el4.test.i386.rpm warning: ./dovecot-0.99.13-1.2.el4.test.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6 # /etc/init.d/dovecot start Starting IMAP daemon (dovecot):[ OK ] Q1: Is the test version rpm of dovecot reliable? It's only half the size of the other rpm (that I was not able to install) Q2: Kindly assist me to resolve the 1st rpm issue : let me know where I can download the dependencies etc Q3: Lastly, kindly point me to a simple doc that tells me how to do basic setup of dovecot & create simple mailbox accounts. I'm a complete newbie to dovecot & postfix. Have some Linux know-how
