Postfix Authentication Failed
I have SuSE 9.1 running with Thunderbird 1.0.2
At times my email downloads fine - if I send something to myself for example but at times email sent by others is pulled of the server (disappears from webmail) but thunderbird tells me there is no new mail. At one stage I killed fetchmail (fetchmail -q as su) but I can't find how to stop it starting on reboot. This helped for a little while Looking in my /var/log/mail I get the following: Jul 3 14:53:28 localhost postfix/smtp[8345]: connect to mail.bigpond.com[144.140.90.10]: server refused mail service (port 25) Jul 3 14:53:28 localhost postfix/smtp[8342]: 5C4219C57D: Authentication failed: SASL authentication failed; server mail.bigpond.com[144.140.90.10] said: 535 Authentication failed Jul 3 14:53:28 localhost postfix/smtp[8343]: 45BF59C575: Authentication failed: SASL authentication failed; server mail.bigpond.com[144.140.90.10] said: 535 Authentication failed Jul 3 14:53:28 localhost postfix/smtp[8342]: connect to mail.bigpond.com[144.140.80.10]: server refused mail service (port 25) Jul 3 14:53:28 localhost postfix/smtp[8342]: 5C4219C57D: to=<E-TaxBroadcast@ato.gov.au>, relay=none, delay=112228, status=deferred (connect to mail.bigpond.com[144.140.80.10]: server refused mail service) However I know the username and pwd are right and the server name is right.

How is your firewall settings? Do you have any third party filtering agent..
Also, what is the output of "netstat -nap | grep :25" ? Looks like, connection is refused by postfix, make sure it is listening port 25. If you could post master.cf smtp socket settings, it might be useful.. |

Okay, in your main.cf you have:
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::1]/128 mynetworks_style = subnet I believe when you specify network_style as subnet, you need to include external ip parameter inyour mynetworks too. For example, I have: 127.0.0.0/8 >>>>>for local mail xx.xx.xx.xx/28 >>>for the whole world 10.0.0.0/24>>>>>for internal mail.. Try settings these parameter according to your numbers to see if it would work..Let's cross our fingers so it would.. |
