Strange Problems with Email

[domh]

Hi there,

I was about to switch over to the ISPConfig Server for email, however I am having a problem.

I can send emails via webmail and receive perfectly fine, however when I try to connect to the server via Thunderbird or Outlook I cannot authenticate. Details of what I am doing is

I have tried

POP: 10.1.1.5
smtp 10.1.1.5
Username www2_user
Password: whatever

Tick for "Server requires authentication" ticked - using pop password.

Error message is something along the lines of "Cannot authenticate or connect to SMTP server".

Please help!

Regards,

Dominic Hawtin

Hi all,

I have fixed this. I found a post to a similar fault with Falko suggesting entering the following commands:

postconf -e 'home_mailbox = Maildir/'
postconf -e 'mailbox_command ='
/etc/init.d/postfix restart

I am not sure why this fixed it and would be keen to hear but it fixed it!

Thanks

Dom
