[Bug 586486] New: Multiple Issues with Yast Configuration of Postfix MTA for Relaying over SMTP
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586486 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586486#c0 Summary: Multiple Issues with Yast Configuration of Postfix MTA for Relaying over SMTP Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andrew@acooke.org QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100204 SUSE/3.5.8-0.1.1 Firefox/3.5.8 The Yast configuration of Postfix as MTA, using the standard (not advanced) mode, for delivering mail over SMTP to a relay, has a number of issues. 1 - When using TLS authentication (SASL) the host address is not surrounded with [] as recommended here - http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html (see section titled "Enabling SASL authentication in the Postfix SMTP/LMTP client"). This is necessary because often the same name (mail.example.com or smtp.example.com) is used both as a relay and to handle incoming mail. Only the relay needs authentication, and so is given one physical machine, while other physical machines handle the main mail volume. In such a case, MX records point to the "other" machines, and [] is necessary to use the "real" machine (which is the only one with autentication). For a concrete example of the pain this causes please see http://forum.webfaction.com/viewtopic.php?pid=15066 2 - When the config is changed in Yast (eg the SMT server name changed), the changes appear in /etc/systconfig/postfix and sasl_passwd, but not in main.cnf. 3 - When the config is changed in Yast (eg the SMT auth details changed), the sasl_passwd.db file is not regenerated with "postmap sasl_passwd". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use Yast to configure SMTP 2. See it fail to work in the case described above, where MX names are used instead of the exact, given host. 3. Change details 4. See how the updated details are not used in subsequent connections. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I just realised I have the version wrong. This is OpenSuse 11.1 (which I have on my "server"; everything else here is using 11.2). I tried updating the version via the web form, but it wanted values for fields I didn't understand, so I am just adding a comment here instead.
