mail problem - authentication (postfix,ISPconfig)

[marclar]

I have successfully installed ISPConfig on my debian system.. So postfix is running, and i can telnet to my server through 25 and 110 ports succesfully. But, when i set up the mail account in outlook, it allways returns error, like username or password is wrong. I have added that user through ISPconfig -> Site -> User &E-mail -> NEW.

But apparently, this user still doesnt exist, or ain't allowed to acces my mail server.

Im guessing, if there might be a problem with DNS's?
If i type "dig MX mydomain.com" i get an mx record to mail.mydomain.com

Should I do something with this domain (mail.mydomain.com) in ISPConfig ?
I'm kind of confused here, please help.
Tnx to everyone

Not to test it, but yes if you want to receive email from internet. Go to co-domains inside your domain to add mail.yourdomain.com.

If you send an email from OE to your server to your email is it delivered?

Do you use the correct user name (something like web1_user) and password?
Any errors in your mail log?
Which distribution do you use?

I get this error, if I try to send e-mail to the account that I created:
Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550 <me@mydomain.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

this debian I use:
Kernel Version 2.4.27-2-386
Distro Name Debian 3.1


Where can I see postfix error log?

Tnx guys

Now, suddenly, outlook stopped rejecting username and password (i think it's somehow connected with the dns server refreshing time).

But now i get this error when i try to send an email via outlook:


The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was 'someone@somewhere.net'. Subject 'test', Account: 'mail.mydomain.com', Server: 'mail.mydomain.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '554 <someone@somewhere.net>: Relay access denied', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 554, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

someone@somewhere.net is some working mail adress.

and also, if I try to send a mail from somewhere else to my me@mydomain.com, i get this err:

Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550 <me@mydomain.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

any ideas?

Ok, changes again

I removed reject_unauth_destination from my main.cf in Postfix

now things changed a bit..

If i send a mail to me@mydomain.com, i don't get an error anymore, and it looks like the mail has been sent successfully. But never cames...

If i send a mail from mail.mydomain.com account in Outlook, it just waits and waits, and then returnes the usual outlook err msg: SMTP server did not respond in 60s...blabla..

It looks im getting closer, but I'm still not there yet...

I found an mail.log, and has lots of entries like this:

Jun 10 18:29:00 home postfix/master[16840]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 17132 exit status 1

Any help'll do!
Tnx

Please run

postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable

Jun 10 18:30:00 home postfix/smtpd[17156]: fatal: parameter "smtpd_recipient_restrictions": specify at least one working instance of: check_relay_domains, r$

What'S in /etc/postfix/main.cf? (Please strip out the comments.)

[marclar]

this is the /etc/postfix/main.cf

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
biff = no

# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no

# Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
#delay_warning_time = 4h

home_mailbox = Maildir/
myhostname =mail.emanuel.si
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
#mydestination = mail.mydomain.com, home.home, localhost.home, $
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
mailbox_command =
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all
smtpd_sasl_local_domain =

smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem
smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1
smtpd_tls_received_header = yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s
tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom

virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable

mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names

I did run "postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable" and nothing special happended. I guess it's ok.

Tnx Falko for your time

[falko]

Please run

postconf -e 'smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination'

and restart Postfix.

[marclar]

this string 'reject_unauth_destination', was there before, but i removed it manualy... now with that code u suggested, that came back ofcourse. But this makes things even worse. Now i'm exactly there where i was 5 posts above..
Now if i try to send an e-mail to my account, I get an error right back:

Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550 <me@mydomain.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table


if I remove 'reject_unauth_destination', then e-mail is sen't succesfully, but it never cames, though I can see it, in my Maildir folder...

I hope, you understand, what I'm trying to say, couse my english is a little poor

Tnx again, falko
