Dovecot 2.0.9
I am able to connect successfully with Thunderbird, Win 8, Apple Mail, iPhone,
iPad.
Outlook Express on Win XP receives just fine, but will not send. I get a
"Client host rejected: Access denied? message. I believe this is simply
Postfix telling me the connection isn?t properly authenticated, as setting up
the exact same credentials on another client (non OE) works. It is only with OE
on XP that I am unable to send/authenticate.
I have literally tried every combination of settings in OE and nothing works.
What else might I need to enable to get this working?
Using SSL, ports 993, 587 PLAINTEXT.

Yes, I have tried these exact same settings, with the exception that we DO have a certificate so we don?t have to confirm certificate.

If you've changed the tls settings in postfix recently, you likely broke compatibility with older clients. If you need further help, feel free to ask on the postfix-users list. Be sure to include "postconf -nf" and "postconf -Mf" output, along with related log entries demonstrating the problem. http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail -- Noel Jones> > dovecot -n as follows: > > # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > # OS: Linux 2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.6 (Final) ext4 > log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " > mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir > mail_max_userip_connections = 50 > namespace { > inbox = yes > location = > prefix = INBOX. > separator = . > type = private > } > passdb { > args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf > driver = sql > } > protocols = imap pop3 > service auth { > unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { > group = postfix > mode = 0660 > user = postfix > } > unix_listener auth-master { > mode = 0600 > user = vmail > } > user = root > } > ssl_ca = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/intermediate.pem > ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem > ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem > userdb { > args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes > driver = static > } > protocol lda { > auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master > log_path = /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log > postmaster_address = postmaster at starionhost.net > } > protocol pop3 { > pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv > }
Correct me if I?m wrong, but I thought Dovecot handled client authentication, and once authenticated handed off to postfix?> On Jun 1, 2015, at 10:05 PM, Noel <noeldude at gmail.com> wrote: > > On 6/1/2015 6:27 PM, SH Development wrote: >> Dovecot 2.0.9 >> >> I am able to connect successfully with Thunderbird, Win 8, Apple Mail, iPhone, iPad. >> >> Outlook Express on Win XP receives just fine, but will not send.

Not worse any time to debug and fix this. Alexander

What, 5 years? Before that, it barely worked for ? I dunno, the previous 5 years? It?s never played well with secure servers.> Using SSL, ports 993, 587 PLAINTEXTAs best I can recall, OE never supported authentication on port 587 and instead had its own bastard setting. I dropped suport for OE clients when Microsoft did, and barely supported OE before that. There are literally hundreds of more capable clients, including webmail. -- I know that you believe you understand what you think I said but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
