Ubuntu Installation :: Evolution-to-Postfix Pop3 Authentication Fails ?

Jul 1, 2010

I just upgraded my Ubuntu 8.04 server to 10.04 and now I cannot receive mail on my Ubuntu 10.04 Evolution client, although I can send mail. No errors appear in auth.log or mail.log when I attempt to log in from my Evolution client, in fact mail.log shows 'pop3d-ssl: connection' from my laptop IP, followed by 'pop3d: Disconnected' when the log-in attempts fail.

I'm able to ssh into the server using the same log-on and password as before the upgrade, however I haven't changed the public or private keys in my .ssh directory. I updated the ssl keys in /etc/postfix/ssl but wasn't able to receive mail before or after the update.

The error in the client reads: 'Unable to connect to POP server mail.mydomain.com, error sending username'

I ran this test and the output appears to be related:

Is the pop3 server not running TLS? /etc/postfix/main.cf says it should, and I get no errors restarting / reloading postfix.

I am receiving messages in /home/user/Maildir, but I cannot download them.

I checked for supported authentication types in my Evolution client - 'Password' is the only one supported, as was true before. The client is not using any certificates.

The output of openssl s_client -tls1 -connect 127.0.0.1:995 shows 'certificate has expired' on the 'Verify return code' entry, not sure if that's significant.

What's different about incoming versus outgoing mail authentication?

Ubuntu :: Very Slow Evolution Performance With POP3 Account

Apr 11, 2010

I first seriously tried to switch to Ubuntu. I now find myself very rarely booting into Windows XP, and all the apps I need to use have free replacements.However, after porting about 15-20 years worth of email from Outlook (via Thunderbird) into Evolution, I'm finding Evo's performance has gone down the toilet.It was snappy to start with, but over time has got slower. I regularly get long waits as it displays notes that it is retrieving message number <whatever>.

I'm using POP3/SMTP for most email (I've a low-usage IMAP account with gmx.com too), but it seems like some sort of issue where I'd want to optimise or "defragment" my local mail store.Has anyone any ideas or suggestions on this?My ~/.evolution/mail folder contains about 2.5Gb if that's any help.This is with 9.10 Ubuntu; I have done some basic tuning on the setup, but not a lot.

Ubuntu :: Setting Up Gmail In Evolution: Imap Or Pop3?

Jan 26, 2011

I'm trying to set up my gmail account with Evolution. I am trying to set up a mail client where -

1) All the mails are stored locally, so that I can work offline. When I reconnect, the client (Evolution) syncs with the server - sends emails and updates any changes.

2) All the labels/folder system to be respected and retained.

After struggling with various sites that argued Pop3 and IMAP (numerous blogs and google searches), I came across this conclusion (pls correct them if they are wrong)-

1) Pop3 allows mails to be stored locally, but will not break them up into folders.

2) IMAP will allow the folder system, but will only store the headers of mail on the local server, and the content will be downloaded as per request.

1) Will Pop3 access allow syncing between the local version and the server version? For instance, a mail read in Evolution should be marked as read when I sign into the web-interface as well.(I can always create a filter/rule that replicates gmail filters)

2) Will IMAP allow me to store all mail locally (isn't this exactly what IMAP is not!)? The combination of imap-gmail-evolution was not so successful when I tried it out - too slow!

PS: I would prefer Evolution over Thunderbird so that I can integrate the Calendar. However, if ThunderBird is the easiest solution, then it's fine too...

General :: Setup A Functioning Imap And Pop3 Mail Server Using Dovecot-postfix?

May 4, 2010

I'm somewhat familiar with Linux and became pretty decent at installing and configuring packages in Ubuntu. One of the things I was able to do with my tinkering was set up a functioning imap and pop3 mail server using dovecot-postfix. Now I'm experimenting with Slackware to get the feel of another distro, and I noticed that the mail server packages were already installed. On my client computer they can pick up that I have users configured and my mx record is working.

However it is failing to send mail saying that it is failing to relay the e-mail message and that the server responded 5.7.1 which was a problem that I was having in Ubuntu when first configuring the mail server. The fix was to edit the postfix.conf file and adding the localhost name of my server. Does anybody know of the file that I need to edit to make it possible to relay my messages with both pop3 and imap.

Force SMTP Authentication With Postfix 2.5.1 / Ubuntu 8.04

Aug 5, 2010

I'm working on configuring a mail server on Ubuntu 8.04 using Postfix 2.5.1 and Courier 0.59.0. I don't want to have to open up specific networks for SMTP relaying, so I want my server to require authenticated SMTP sessions. I'm just confused on how to do this. Here's my main.cf file from Postfix:

It seems like getting this enabled is way more complicated than I expected, assuming I'm not on the wrong path.

Software :: Postfix Outgoing SMTP Authentication

Mar 18, 2011

I have postfix installed on my computer to let scripts send email. I want to use my isp as the smtp server. In /etc/postfix/main.cf I have told postfix to use gmail as my smtp server using "relayhost = outgoing.verizon.net". However, when I send an email, it gets returned. The full email is included below (my server's address has been replaced with ***.com).

I believe that I need to authenticate to [URL]... from postfix, but I am not sure how to add these directives to the config file.

Ubuntu Servers :: Postfix And Prevent Clients To Connect To Port 25 Without Authentication?

Jan 29, 2011

I'm a NOOB setting up Postfix but managed quite well by following the Ubuntu Server guide. I have managed to set it up using SSL but testing a mail client like thunderbird I can also connect to port 25 using no authentication. Connecting using SSL on port 465 by editing "master.cf" file works but 25 i still open.

1. How do I prevent clients to connect to port 25 without authentication?
2. I guess I have to have port 25 open in order to receive mail from the outside world?

Server :: Postfix SASL Authentication (UNIX Accounts)?

Nov 12, 2010

I'm using postfix with unix accounts for a while now and I just realized today that SASL authentication, instead of working only with the USERNAME, it also works if the username is followed by ANYDOMAIN.COM

So, let's say I have the following UNIX users: tim, mike, john. If I set the Outgoing Username:[URL]..(where whatever.com can be any name you can think of) IT WORKS, even though it shouldn't, it should only work with tim, mike and john without any domain name. Does anyone know what might cause this and what's the workaround to this problem?

Server :: TLS / SASL Authentication - Dovecot And Postfix - Does Config

Oct 14, 2010

I am running the following on CentOS 5.5 (Final)

dovecot 1.0.7
saslauthd 2.1.22

When I send an email via TLS I see the following log entries.

Code:
Oct 14 11:53:06 ns2 postfix/smtpd[11372]: connect from unknown[172.16.1.159]
Oct 14 11:53:06 ns2 postfix/smtpd[11372]: setting up TLS connection from unknown[172.16.1.159]
[Code]....

What I'm really curious about is there is an intial TLS connection with a 256 bit cipher, but then.. The last entry states "sasl_method=PLAIN" - so surely this is not encrypted? Or am I misunderstanding how it works?

I have been using ubuntu 10.10 32 bit. I thought of giving 64 bit a try. I downloaded the ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64 from the ubuntu website and burned it in to a cd. Then i boot from cd. But unfortuntely i am getting terminal instead of installtion or try options. It says : General errormounting filesystem" and then Lots of " Authentication failure".

Ubuntu Servers :: SSH Authentication Fails From Outside LAN?

Mar 29, 2010

My first post here. I've been using Ubuntu to run our internal mail server for a while now on Ubuntu server 9.04 and ISPconfig 2. I've read a lot of threads on poeple that have difficulty connecting to their server using SSH from outside the LAN and it is not the same problem I have. Well, not entirely the same.

My problem is that my authentication fails from outside the LAn, but I can connect to the SSH port from outside my LAN. The other threads pointed towards checking the router port forwarding etc, but I can see my SSH log in asking for my username and password. So, at this stage I know the port forwarding worked, otherwise I wouldn't even see the log in prompt.

Has anyone see this before where you can connect, but the authentication fails? I can use the correct username and password from inside the LAN, but using the same credentials from outside fails.

Ubuntu :: Ldap Authentication Fails Using Uid

Ubuntu Networking :: Public Key Authentication Fails?

I'm trying to connect to my Xubuntu box (zelda) remotely using my RSA key. I'm using Cygwin on my Windows box (link) to SSH in to the Xubuntu box. I've created the key and placed it in the authorized_keys file on my remote box. Here's where it gets weird. When I ssh into zelda the first time, it prompts me for my password. However, if I'm already connected to zelda and try to open another connection, it prompts me for my RSA passphrase. This is very confusing, and I have no idea what's going on.Here's my sshd_config file on zelda.

Ubuntu :: Users And Groups Authentication Fails

Jun 13, 2010

I recently tried installing a new version of VirtualBox PUEL version, after uninstalling an earlier version. But the major issue I have now is that I can no longer modify my User Settings. Clicking on the "Autnenticate" icon gets me a failure notice: "System policy prevents modifying the system configuration", with details reading "Action: org.freedesktop.systemtoolsbackends.set". Hovering over this link says to click on the link to edit the file, but nothing happens. Searching the file system tells me this file does not exist. Prior to this episode with VirtualBox, I had no trouble modifying Users and Groups. I was able to remove a group from the command line, but the cannot get the GUI authorization to work. I have searched the forums and bugs for similar problems, and, although there appear to be a number of similar issues, no where can I find any clear information on how this system is supposed to work, or what I need to do to correct the problem.

Ubuntu :: Evolution Fails To Start?

Dec 18, 2010

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 fresh and was putting my preferences back in for Firefox and MythTV and such when I noticed Evolution wouldn't start. I would click on it and the cursor would change for about 5 seconds and then nothing. I tried uninstalling Evolution (big mistake), but after I got back into the desktop, Evolution still wouldn't start. I can't seem to find anything around here that deals with this. Where should I start to debug this?

It never lets me input a new password. Two questions:1) Am I doing something wrong, or is this actually a bug? The possibility has been mentioned in other posts on the topic.2) Where does PackageKit store its files? I'll either change the password myself or delete the file where it's written, hopefully that will trigger PackageKit to ask again.

Ubuntu Networking :: WPA Authentication Fails After Waking From Sleep Vs. DLink?

Jan 14, 2011

At home in Guangzhou, I have no problem connecting to a WPA-secured wireless router.Now I'm on vacation in another city trying to use a dLink DI-624 router. If I connect immediately after reboot, no problem. If I suspend the session and then wake the machine up again, it will try to connect and then tell me WPA authentication failed.This happens both with network manager and wicd.sysinfo says the network controller is an Atheros AR9285 (ethernet is Realtek RTL8101E/8102E, probably not relevant).Since everything works correctly with routers other than the dLink, I'd have to guess it's not a general wireless configuration problem, nor a wireless card malfunction. Maybe some bad handshaking that manifests only after waking from sleep?More out of curiosity -- I'll only be here for a few weeks and a wired connection is readily available. But, say I end up in a hotel somewhere that uses dLink for WiFi
