Topic: How do I use SMTP over SSL ?

ubuntu 9.10
iredmail Version: 0.6.0

when configuring email client - outlook, thunderbird, i can connect via imaps port 993
but i cannot send via any ssl smtp ports 465 or 587

i get this error

/var/log/mail.warn

Aug  4 23:14:54 mailserver postfix/smtpd[17353]: warning: unknown[192.168.1.29]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: UGFzc3dvcmQ6

UGFzc3dvcmQ6 is base64 encoding of password
i do not have "password" anywhere on my box

how do i make smtp via ssl work ?

NOTE
using port 25 no ssl, i get same error

Re: How do I use SMTP over SSL ?

Did you try port 25 with STARTTLS?

Re: How do I use SMTP over SSL ?

This works for me with Thunderbird:

Port: 465
Connection security: SSL/TLS

Re: How do I use SMTP over SSL ?

Enable SMTP authentication in your client. "My server requires authentication" / "Use name and password".

Re: How do I use SMTP over SSL ?

yes i have enabled the smtp auth
thunderbird > authentication > normal password
outlook > this server requires authentication > use the same details as imap

i still get the same problem /var/log/mail.warn

Aug  5 08:52:31 mailserver postfix/smtpd[19424]: warning: unknown[192.168.1.29]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: UGFzc3dvcmQ6

this is a clean install of ubuntu server 9.10 - nothing was changed before installing iredmail, i just updated apt.

Re: How do I use SMTP over SSL ?

Try to debug it yourself: Put your client ip address in postfix main.cf "debug_peer_list = ", restart it and monitor the maillog file, you can simply filter 'TLS' in log file to check whether it works.

Re: How do I use SMTP over SSL ?

as i have said before i have tried every setting
logging in with user@hostname, user
entering server dns address, server ip address,

the client recognises the certificate and informs me that it is invalid.

in my mail.warn i keep getting "password" encoded in bas64 as the password being sent - and its NOT the password entered in smtp settings.

Re: How do I use SMTP over SSL ?

i use iRedMail with default settings, thunderbird works fine. Check attached image to see my smtp settings in thunderbird.

Did you change any setting? What's the version number of your Postfix?
