[opensuse] Can use the incoming mailserver but not the outgoing mailserver.
Dear my friends.... I use OpenSuSE 11.1, KMail and DoveCot version: " sussy:/etc/ssl/certs # dovecot --version 1.1.7 ". This is the configuration of my DoveCot: " sussy:/etc/ssl/certs # dovecot -n # 1.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.27.29-0.1-default i686 openSUSE 11.1 (i586) base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 listen(default): * listen(imap): * listen(pop3): *:110 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting: Dovecot of MyGoogle.Com ready. mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 auth default: debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd ". I have created local linux user account on my Postfix+DoveCot server. I also can access the content of my mailbox from my KMail. I am so happy but once I try to send email (testing the smtp) than I realize that I can't send an email from my email client (KMail). I use this setting on my email client: 1. 'incoming mailserver' == 'outgoing mailserver' == 'mail.mygoogle.com' (pseudonome). Also username and password are all the same between incoming/outgoing mailserver, namely the local userlogin of LINUX. As the username, I put 'ricky' (but not 'ricky@mygoogle.com'). 2. smtp authentication: No encryption and plaintext. The error message on my KMail is: " Sending failed: Your SMTP server does not support The server responded: "5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: generic failure". Choose a different authentication method. The server responded: "5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: generic failure" The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem (e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder.

==== Hi John, Then come this error message: " Sending failed: Your SMTP server does not support TLS. Disable TLS, if you want to connect without encryption. The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem (e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder. The following transport was used: mygoogle.com ". Because it automatically chosed the TLS. If I choese 'none' encryption with 'no smtp authentication', the error message will be: " Sending failed: Message sending failed since the following recipients were rejected by the server: feybe_k@yahoo.com (The server responded: "5.7.1 <feybe_k@yahoo.com>: Relay access denied") The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem (e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder.

It's impossible for anyone to say without further information, but *if* your provider requires you to authenticate using a userid and a password, and *if* these are being sent in plain text, it makes sense that the connection should be using TLS to prevent others from picking up your password.
RB>Currently, Yes my mail server does not have TLS setup on it. You're RB>right. RB>If then, than I need to lookup the documentation how to setup TLS RB>on postfix.
The error messages you sent strongly indicate that the receiving server required TLS, and since this could not be established, your authentication failed. AFAIR, setting TLS on a postfix client is no big deal. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I assume that is your attempt to send an email. Notice that it is coming from an IP that does not match the IP from your domain, as far as I know. It is not coming from the intranet, but from internet, and thus, postfix should require authentication before accepting to relay that email. Read postfix documentation, the part for sasl authentication. For this part, you need to setup the "server" sasl side (the client side is needed if postfix has to authenticate to another server). /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/html/SASL_README.html

Then, instead of using "mygoogle.com", just replace your real domain name with something "MYDOMAIN" in uppercase, so that we know you replaced it.

I've seen a hint in his logs that tlsmgr does not exist in his configuration. That is probably the real cause of that message. OP should let Postfix check his configuration: Add missing lines in master.cf (TLSMGR!!): postfix upgrade-configuration General permission check: postfix check After a reload the problem with tlsmgr should be fixed.

Then use names that exist for exactly that purpose: example.com example.net server.example ... There are some requirements for "real" mailserver: - fixed ip address - matching hostname and reverse lookup for that hostname - working dns resolution I would like to add basic knowledge about smtp protocol and server security and monitoring, but that is probably wishful thinking... sigh (^-^) It is difficult to help the OP because I still don't know what exactly he tries to do and what he has available to work with. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Both I suppose - after all, people get away with running mailservers on IP-addresses without proper reverse mapping for years and years.

The old rule still applies: configure your own system to match the requirements as good as possible, so other servers won't complain about your server, but require only the sensible minimum from other servers. My addendum is, that I slap a few extra checks on "unknown" servers or systems with a sloppy setup like greylisting and some more RBL checks.

I'm surprised that anyone who provides static IPs would not know how to (or not want to) add a record to the reverse zone file. So far I have only come across one Swiss provider which refuses to set up reverse DNS for single static IPs - they require you to have a/29 network for which they charge more than for a single static IP.

I bought a Lenovo g530 and installed 11.2 on it, but there were no drivers for the internet hardware in the 530, so I had no access to my comcast modem and I went back toVista.

or http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Network_Adapters_(Wireless) maybe try going through yast and finding new hardware? What chipset is the NIC? I did some googling and found those 2 links. It would have to be based on when the drivers are in the kernel, however Ubuntu works fine on it I read so I don't now. Probably have to get intel drivers. See the first link. See the 2nd link to see what chipset the NIC is and go from there. I did some quick research and found that it could be realtek or intel chipset.

Neither the wireless nor the wired ports worked so I had NO internet access until I reinstalled vista.

i think you're jumping the gun a little early; and if you go for MS again, why vista? to me XP seems a much better choice, or even windows 7 (my kids tell me that's much better than vista; didn't try it myself). i had similar problems with an earlier version of openSUSE, that i couldn't get the network card working after installing. it did work when running from the live CD, though. eventually i managed to copy the hardware driver the live CD was using to an existing ntfs drive, and moved it into the new linux installation after reboot; that got my network working. _if_ your lennovo runs from a live CD including network, you could try that. if not you should be able to get a driver from the IBM or lennovo website; IBM is doing quite a lot these days for open source development, particularly supporting their own soft- and hardware. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I only went back to vista after trying Opensuse, Fedora 11, and OpenBSD 4.5 on the laptop. I had been in the hospital with no good internet acess for 2 months and I decided that Windows Vista was better than no access. I still prefer LINUX.

Run "/sbin/lspci" and provide that information. That reports what hardware [at least on the PCI bus] comprises the machine. I have no idea what exactly is in a G530 (and there is no guarantee that every G530 is the same, OEMs are fickle sometimes). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

since you've already installed vista on that machine, you can do that after booting from the live CD. at that time you can also check if, while running from the CD, your network connection works. that happened to me once, and only after i transfered the network driver from the live CD to my HDD was i able to get the network working after installation. if you should be able to get your network problems sorted out with help from this list, you might want to install openSUSE 11.1 instead of the pre- release 11.2 version, which is more likely to cause problems for you. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
