Problems with webmail logins and POP3

Hi

I just installed ISPConfig on a Debian 3.1 System. I followed the "perfect setup". A single point I did not follow the HowTo is that I used mysql4.1.

Now the following problems occure:

After I have created a customer, a website for this customer and a user for the website I tried to log into the webmail System (I have installed the UebiMiau Webmail package with the update manager).
I used a URL like this: https://<domain>:81/mailuser, a login web[ID]_username and the password as set.
Login is not possible. I get the following Error:

Code:

Fehler: User error: Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command

When I try to get the Email with Thunderbird I get an error too:

Code:

... User error: Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command

If I change my settings in Thunderbird to SSL authentication it works.

Does anybody have an idea how to get this working?

The URL for the Uebimiau webamil application is https://<domain>:81/webmail, not https://<domain>:81/mailuser.

What's in your mail log? What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

Hi

I can`t test this right now, as I exchanged ipopd-ssl and uw-imapd-ssl for dovecot. If I find the time I will reinstall ipopd-ssl and uw-imapd-ssl (approximately on Tuesday) and post the output.
With dovecot installed all the logins work well (webmail, mailuser, pop3 and pop3s).

But I tried ipopd-ssl and uw-imapd-ssl on another server (no ISPconfig) . I have the same problems there. Netstat output is quite long (as the server is running LDAP, samba, hylafax etc.). Non SSL pop3 calls are not working on this server, either.

Can I find a log for pop3 somewhere (except mail.log)?
Funny thing is that I can put nonsense (lines like bliblablub 0) into /etc/c-client.cf and do not find any error in any log. So it seems to me that /etc/c-client is not being read on my systems.

Hi

I'm back :-)

I just set up the server from scratch using the perfect setup for Sarge (except mysql. I installed 4.1). I think I have found some error in the setup. Should I send the list to someone?

The Problems aren't gone. So here is an updated list:

1. Accessing https://<domain>:81/mailuser using web[ID]_<username> gives the follwong error:

Code:

Fehler: User error: Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command

2. Trying to get Email with POP3 (non SSL) using Thunderbird with user web[ID]_<username> gives the following error:

Code:

Fehler beim senden des Benutzernamens. Der Mail-Server: <domain> antwortete:

Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command

3. Sending a mail with Thunderbird (SMTP with SSL): quit long error in german. Abstract: Message could not be sent. SMTP is not reachable or does not accept connections. Check your settings or conntact server administrator.
4. Login to webmail (uebimiau) is not working (user: Emailadress):

Quote:

You cannot login with the username and password entered.

Please check your username and password and try again.

Any sugestions?
More Questions?

Hi a second time.

One problem I have solved by myself.

Sending emails to POP3s now works.
I had to edit /etc/postfix/master.cf.
The following lines need to be commented in (no "#" at start of lines):

Code:

tlsmgr    fifo  -       -       n       300     1       tlsmgr

smtps     inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd -o smtpd_tls_wrap\

permode=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes

587       inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd -o smtpd_enforce_\

tls=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes

(lines 122 - 124 in my config)

I think you should consider switching to Courier and Maildir (although I never had those problems).

Hi

This is quite strange. Meanwhile I have installed this stuff 5 times an 3 different mashines and have the same problems anytime.

I think I will switch from ipopds and uw-imap to dovecat.

But I have found something else which might give a hint.
Yesterday I stated that smtp with SSL is working. Today I gave it another try and got an error:

Code:

Nov 22 17:41:03 nm1 postfix/smtpd[20404]: disconnect from p54A57D85.dip.t-dialin.net[84.165.125.133]

Nothing was changed since yesterday. It might be possible that I didn't check smtp wit ssl correct ...

Maybe this gives a hint for the other problems?

I found a solution for this. If I edit /etc/postfix/master.cf and change the line

Code:

smtps     inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd -o smtpd_tls_wrap\

permode=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes

Code:

smtps     inet  n       -       -       -       -       smtpd -o smtpd_tls_wrap\

permode=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes

it works. This changs makes smtpd run chgrooted.

Maybe this gives a hint for the other problems? What do you think

I have tried out using IMAP with and without SSL. This seems to work perfect.

So the only problems occure when using POP without SSL and logging to mailuser and webmail ...

There'S no dovecot package for Debian Sarge, only Courier.
