View Full Version : PostFix won't authenticate

This is a new Debian Etch install ("Perfect Etch Setup").

For some reason, PostFix won't authenticate.

I can see in webmin that the accounts are getting mail, just won't authenticate and download in Outlook.

Created the username/password and email address within ISPConfig

Here's a tail of the mail log.

Can anyone see what I did wrong?

Thanks.

You must send an email first to a new account before you can fetch mails. Maildir is created once the first email arrives.

I can see that emails have already arrived in those accounts by using the "View Mailboxes" in Webmin.

Still won't authenticate. Any other ideas?

What's in /etc/postfix/main.cf? How do you create your mail accounts (manually, Webmin, ISPConfig, ...)?

I think this is a dump of the main.cf file as requested ...

I use ISPConfig to set up mail accounts.

Did you enable Maildir in ISPConfig (Management > Server > Settings > Email)?
