Hi folks,

I recently set up a server on a VPS. I'm running CentOS 5, LxAdmin control panel with BIND, Apache, Mysql, PHP, etc. Now, LxAdmin by default comes with roundcube and horde webmail clients. The problem is that I want to use good old fashioned squirrelmail.

So, I tried to install squirrelmail on one of the user accounts on my server. I got everything to work (i.e. it can recieve mail, delete it, file it, etc.), but I cannot send. When I try to send an email, I get the following error:

Now, I know I can send mail with roundcube and horde, so the problem is not with the mail server, but with squirrelmail. Can someone shed some light on this problem?

Thank you very much.

What is your MTA? Sendmail? Postfix?
What do you see in the mail logs?

Dave

The MTA is qmail, with courier being used for pop/imap.
All mail-related logs in /var/log are empty.

It is possible that courier is putting the logs somewhere else? Sometimes applications write their logs within their own file hierarchy instead of putting them in /var/log.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Any idea where else I can look for the logs?

I got this out of /var/log/messages when I triend to send an email through sqirrelmail.

I also got this out of /var/log/lxadmin/smtp.log (I think this is the problem)

Also, here's my tcp.smtp:





Is it of any use?

Okay, I figured it out. I had to set the smtp_auth variable in the config.php file to login so that it would authenticate against the smtp server. Thanks very much!!
