Email problems

Post by darione75 »

Hi, i've a bubba two from few days. Until now i'm not able to use it completely as mail server, the first thing that i want to use it.
First: I try to set a GMAIL account on pop3. Bubba recieve all email perfectly and i'm able to read it by imap from everywhere. But i'm not able to send email! I've put into send email the GMAIL SMTP parameters but nothing works!
Second: i want to manage 5 pop3 email account with bubba and i've create 5 users for use it. The problem is that i can choose to use ONLY ONE send smtp server, the primary. So what's mean? That i send email from the same account?? I want to use 5 different account for send email and have 5 different reply and send folders.
Thanks for who reply.

UPDATE

For gmail the problem seem to be that for SMTP authentication you need to put your email address and NOT only your username. In Bubba if you put name.surname as user, he save it, but if you put name.surname@gmail.com he don't save!! A bug???

The same problem if in lan you try to give to bubba a static ip address he don't save the gateway default. H ekeep the default gateway only in dhcp...another bug....

Did you read the manual? Most modern USP's block your SMTP port. So you have to fill in your smtp server of your access provider. Then all mail will be sent for sure! The sender's email is in your email itself so every sender has it's own return path, the delivery only is done with your own internet provider were the bubba sits. Working for me!

Squadra, i've read the manual before post!
It's not my case. The proglem is that for EVERY 5 account i've an username that is MY email with @ and there's a BUG that won't save the user with @.

Anybody know wich is the timeline for bugfix? i need to use bubba as a mailserver...

email not working (reading from pop3)

Post by peter »

I've got a similar problem.
I'm trying to read email for two users from a pop3 account.
One of them is working the other one isn't.

The working account has a username that looks like 'aaaa'.
The one that is not working has a username that looks like 'bbbb.cccc.dddd'.

What is wrong here?
1) username too long?
or
2) username contains dots
or
3) both 1 and 2

Please help.

Try looking in the logs (mail.log and mail.err) and see if they have anything useful to say. I had problems fetching mail from my ISP (Swedish Glocalnet) but checking the ssl box in the mail configuration took care of that.

To the original poster: I have an @-sign in my "username", i.e my full email address is the username, and that works just fine. So if there is a bug that prohibit an @-sign in the username it was introduced in the 1.0.8 update.

Hi

be aware that for smtp.gmail.com you have to setup a tsl connection in the configuration. So you have to configure it in the postfix configuration files.
here you can also specify multiple smtp servers and a rule which smtp server to use for which sender.
you can check the setup with the following command and check the /var/log/mail.log is the mail is send.

Code: Select all

echo "Test mail" | mail -s "This is a test mail" eek@gmail.com
Note: you have to install mail on bubba2: apt-get install mailx

This is good:
Oct 18 22:02:23 heracles postfix/smtp[6392]: 2F44D7FF96: to=<eek@gmail.com>, relay=smtp.gmail.com[64.233.183.109]:587, delay=4383, delays=4382/0.27/0.65/0.59, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK 1224360164 k9sm28218607nfh.23)
Oct 18 22:02:23 heracles postfix/qmgr[6340]: 2F44D7FF96: removed
This is not good:

@darione75 my comment was concerning the smtp server not username i guess that one is a bug.

My comment was that most modern internet access providers block smtp port and don't provide relaying (sometimes port 587 is still open so eek's solution would be a nice one... thanks eek!!). So when your bubba is at such an access provider you have to use their smtp port. Then you will be able to sent email from all different accounts.

Hi
make sure that you have created a user with shell login privilege.
when logged in using ssh, you can do a su - and the default password is excito.

Checkout these:
http://forum.excito.net//viewtopic.php?t=835 for setting up mail.
http://souptonuts.sourceforge.net/postfix_tutorial.html for using gmail
In this tutorial not really mentioned, but you have to include the Twathe certificate

Code: Select all

cat /etc/ssl/certs/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem >> cacert.pem

Just read you other update
Temporary failure resolving 'ftp.se.debian.org'
This looks like you don't have access to your DNS server.
this could be either no internet access, or wrong gateway.
does you pc have internet access?
what DNS server does it use?
is it the same as in /etc/resolv.conf?
cheers
