After Install: Mail not working and FTP strange

[Raffnix]

Hello,

Today I installed ISPconfig on a new Server (Debian Sarge Basic Image, then "Perfect Install" from HowTo)
I kept the given Hostname (IP.provider.tld) and installation worked well

But after starting ISPconfig. I noticed, that in the Services overview FTP-Server was offline. Restarting didn't change anything and trying to restart on the shell returned:

proftpd restart
- warning: "ProFTPD" address/port (xx.xx.xx.xx:21) already in use by "Debian"


I ignored that and pre-configured my domains (9 Clients), which are currently still running on my old server.

Then I switched one of them (including MX) to the new server (www.mydomain.tld is working OK) an created an user (web7p1)
Maildir has been created and I can access the Mailbox with Outlook Express and Uebimail. But trying to send mail with either of them results with an error:

Feb  2 18:40:34 xx-xx-xx-xx courierpop3login: LOGIN, user=web7p1, ip=[::ffff:xx.xx.xx.xx]

Feb  2 18:45:45 xx-xx-xx-xx postfix/smtpd[2226]: warning: myip[xx.xx.xx.xx]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed

On the other hand, connecting to the server with an FTP client works fine (despite of the first error)

If you can help me get my mail working and explain the ftp behaviour I would be glad

please have a look here:
http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...ocketbindtight

The problem is that proftpd binds the port on all IP addresses with its default server and then cannot bind with the later defined virtual servers.

[Raffnix]

Well I added "SocketBindTight on" to proftpd.conf and rebooted, but that changed nothing: The message now reads:

proftpd stop
- warning: "ProFTPD" address/port (xx.xx.xx.xx:21) already in use by "FTP-Servername"
- SocketBindTight in effect, ignoring DefaultServer

and the FTP-Server-Status in ISPconfig is still "offline".

The FTP-Server is reachable by the configured user. Unfortunately the user is not restricted to his Web but able to browse the whole server.


Even worse is, that I'm still unable to send mail.

Please post your /etc/proftpd.conf here.

It seems as if saslauthd isn't running. Please run

/etc/init.d/saslauthd start

saslauthd is running (restarted it to be sure) but still sending is not possible. This is what uebimail tells me:

This error is not related to saslauth.

Please post the lines that begin with:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = ...
mynetworks = ....

from your postfix main.cf.

[Raffnix]

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject _unauth_destination

mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8

Could reject_unauth_destination be the problem?

[Raffnix]

Thx for the help so far.

Unfortunately I have to reset the server and reinstall everything. If I run again in this problem, I will return here. For now, the problem is "solved"

Thank you anyway.

Hi, I am having the same problem.

When setting up postfix for plain text authentication (eventually to use TLS) I try to use telnet and verify that it is setup correctly. Unfortuneatly it seem to always fail authentication. I think it might be due to not knowing how to authenticate. What should be in /etc/pam.d/smtpd ?

Further details (and my config files) can be found @ http://marsianman.is-a-geek.com:8000/wp

Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys.

It seems as if saslauthd isn't running. Please post the output of

ps aux

Also, on your page I read this:

I do have the server up and running though and the /etc/sasldb2 is world readable.

You don't need sasldb2 because you're using saslauthd which means your user must be in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and have a valid password.
