At my company we've had a longstanding problem of not being able to send email from devices outside of our internal network and any specific IP address that we open the relay to. As it turns out, SASL has never been set up. I need to set up SASL ASAP but none of the guides I've found seem to work. This is the latest guide I tried: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL I did everything on here minus the last part because it's on the same server.
don't pretend - "postconf -n" and "dovecot -n"
# dovecot service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } }
# postfix smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
Also, instead of submission inet n - - - - smtpd I did: 127.0.0.1:1025 inet n - - - - smtpd
that is complete nonsense
- 1025 is not a standard port
- the port only listens on localhost
- no way to connect from outside
After all is done, however, I'm unable to send any mail. Thunderbird just says sending message but doesn't send and I don't even get an error. I end up having to disable SASL again before I can send mail.
because most likely 1025 is not opened in the firewall and even if since you misconfigured the server it could not connect
Dovecot version 2.0.9 Postfix version 2.6.6 CentOS 6 I have Postfix, Dovecot, and ASSP on the same server
