[gentoo-user] Postfix, courier-imap: checks if working

[gentoo-user] Postfix, courier-imap: checks if working

[laurent]

Hi,

I'm following this how to:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml

after configuring courier-imap they say:
Start up your favorite mail client and verify that all connections 
you've started work for receiving and sending mail. Of course, you won't 
be able to log on to any of the services because authentication hasn't 
been configured yet, but it is wise to check if the connections 
themselves work or not.

I'm using mutt, saying there's no mailbox. Creating mailbox is done 
later in the how to.
What do they mean, how can I test if smtpd and pop3d work fine ?

Thanks
Laurent

They mean that you have to check with your client that
pop3/pop3s/smtp/imap/imaps connection are established with success.
You can do this with either telnet or netcat for pop3/smtp/imap protocol
and see if the server answer to the connection and with openssl s_client
for pop3s/imaps connection.

hm actually I should get something like that:

# telnet localhost 25

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.domain.com ESMTP Postfix
EHLO domain.com
250-mail.domain.com
250-PIPELINING

250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-STARTTLS
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN
250-XVERP
250 8BITMIME
^]
telnet> quit

but I get this:
 telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

Maybe you could check in or post your postfix logs (/var/log/mail.* or 
/var/log/messages), or adding -d argument to smtpd command in 
/etc/postfix/master.cf, reload postfix with postfix reload, retry telnet 
and check (or post) the logs again.

Well I took a quick glance at this document.

It does not discuss or show how to use DNS or more specifically
MX records. As such setting up email, specific
to a Domain Name(s), seems to be missing a fundamental
discussion, methinks.

Getting service or bandwidth suppliers to cooperate with
your DNS needs is problematic, at best, in my experience.


ymmv,

Re: [gentoo-user] Postfix, courier-imap: checks if working

Hey,

I did the change you proposed, check the logs. added this to smtpd.conf:
pwcheck_method:saslauthd
mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
allow_plaintext: true
auxprop_plugin: mysql
sql_hostnames: host.domai.com
sql_user: user
sql_passwd: pass
sql_database: mail
sql_select: select passwd from users where user='%u'

and now my logs goes wrong here:
Apr  7 18:48:54 ks359684 postfix/smtpd[17003]: sql auxprop plugin using 
mysql engine
Apr  7 18:48:54 ks359684 postfix/smtpd[17003]: auxpropfunc error invalid 
parameter supplied
Apr  7 18:48:54 ks359684 postfix/smtpd[17003]: _sasl_plugin_load failed 
on sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: ldapdb

checked google, but no idea now.
thx
Laurent

Re: [gentoo-user] Postfix, courier-imap: checks if working

[laurent]

ok forget what I said before i fixed the log problems that I saw in 
/var/log/messages

now I got just this, one line of postfix verbose, when I connect with 
telnet:
telnet host.domain.com 25
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to host.domain.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 host.domain.com ESMTP Postfix

Just one line, is it ok ?

That's what a typical client sends in response to server smtp
announcement.

And that's what server responds to it, further announcing it's
capabilities, so client may choose how to relay the message thru it.


Try this simple python script to check smtp capability of your server:
http://fraggod.net/svc/dumpz/d7936/

Just save it into some file like "smtp_test.py", replace "domain" with
address of your server and use "python smtp_test.py" to launch it.
It should show you whole protocol exchange between client and server,
along with ocurred errors, if any.


For me (working case), it's output looks like this ("domain.com" here is
my mail domain, for example case):

So it looks like working.
Actually I'm trying to make apache send an e-mail via postfix. I went 
through installing a complete virtual mail host but maybe I will go back 
to a simpler way.
I got the smtp, pop, imap installed, I don't really need the virtual 
host stuff. I could send email even before. hm. Obscure.

I'm using neko vm as server side programming, trying to make neko make 
apache send an e-mail. I think my next step is to connect apache to postfix.
I'm looking into this, if you have any idea where I should look you're 
welcome.

Thanks
Laurent
