Dovecot 2.0.9
I am able to connect successfully with Thunderbird, Win 8, Apple Mail, iPhone, iPad.
Outlook Express on Win XP receives just fine, but will not send. I get a "Client host rejected: Access denied” message. I believe this is simply Postfix telling me the connection isn’t properly authenticated, as setting up the exact same credentials on another client (non OE) works. It is only with OE on XP that I am unable to send/authenticate.
I have literally tried every combination of settings in OE and nothing works. What else might I need to enable to get this working?
Using SSL, ports 993, 587 PLAINTEXT.
dovecot -n as follows:

my OE/XP seems to work OK, set as:
server tab: server requires auth YES /logon secure pass NO/
advanced tab: 587 requires secure SSL YES
(but it ask to confirm self issued cert every time)
Yes, I have tried these exact same settings, with the exception that we DO have a certificate so we don’t have to confirm certificate.

Jeff,
don't know, sorry..

Sounds like a problem with postfix talking to your XP client, not a dovecot problem.
If you've changed the tls settings in postfix recently, you likely broke compatibility with older clients. If you need further help, feel free to ask on the postfix-users list. Be sure to include "postconf -nf" and "postconf -Mf" output, along with related log entries demonstrating the problem. http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought Dovecot handled client authentication, and once authenticated handed off to postfix?

Yes, dovecot handles the authentication, but the connection is handled by postfix. We already know the authentication work since you can receive mail, so the problem is either postfix or the client. At any rate, this isn't a dovecot problem.

This is a fairly good explanation on the error

Client host rejected: Access denied”
This looks more like a system denial.. or could be a Blacklist denial of the host by spam filters.?

Do you really think it is wise to run an EOLed OS with an EOLed mail client these days? No, it is absolutely not. Not worse any time to debug and fix this.

Outlook Express hasn’t been supported in.. What, 5 years?
Before that, it barely worked for … I dunno, the previous 5 years?
It’s never played well with secure servers.
Using SSL, ports 993, 587 PLAINTEXT
As best I can recall, OE never supported authentication on port 587 and instead had its own bastard setting.
I dropped suport for OE clients when Microsoft did, and barely supported OE before that. There are literally hundreds of more capable clients, including webmail.
