smtp error on sendmail but not on squirrelmail after opening port 587
I have a mail client that communicates with my dedicated server through ISP Verizon.net. Verizon recently blocked port 25 so my mail client can't communicate. I opened port 587 in sendmail.mc. Now when I log on the password for the email account is not recognized. Also, I get a bash no such directory when i query the /etc/password file. Does anyone have any idea where my password files might be located? Clearly the password is not a real issue as i can log in on squirrel mail.
Also, is there something amiss in this sendmail.mc snippet? dnl # dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PL$ dnl # dnl # Rudimentary information on creating certificates for sendmail TLS: dnl # make -C /usr/share/ssl/certs usage dnl # dnl define(`confCACERT_PATH',`/usr/share/ssl/certs') dnl define(`confCACERT',`/usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt') dnl define(`confSERVER_CERT',`/usr/share/ssl/certs/sendmail.pem') dnl define(`confSERVER_KEY',`/usr/share/ssl/certs/sendmail.pem') dnl # dnl # This allows sendmail to use a keyfile that is shared with OpenLDAP's dnl # slapd, which requires the file to be readble by group ldap dnl # dnl define(`confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL',`groupreadablekeyfile')dnl dnl # define(`LUSER_RELAY', `local:undeliverable')dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`LOGIN PLAIN')dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`LOGIN PLAIN')dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `LOGIN PLAIN')dnl dnl define(`confTO_QUEUEWARN', `4h')dnl dnl define(`confTO_QUEUERETURN', `5d')dnl dnl define(`confQUEUE_LA', `12')dnl dnl define(`confREFUSE_LA', `18')dnl define(`confTO_IDENT', `0')dnl dnl FEATURE(delay_checks)dnl FEATURE(`no_default_msa',`dnl')dnl FEATURE(`smrsh',`/usr/sbin/smrsh')dnl FEATURE(`mailertable',`hash -o /etc/mail/mailertable.db')dnl FEATURE(`virtusertable',`hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable.db')dnl FEATURE(`genericstable',`hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable.db')dnl FEATURE(redirect)dnl FEATURE(always_add_domain)dnl FEATURE(use_cw_file)dnl FEATURE(use_ct_file)dnl dnl # dnl # The -t option will retry delivery if e.g. the user runs over his quota. dnl # FEATURE(local_procmail,`',`procmail -t -Y -a $h -d $u')dnl FEATURE(`access_db',`hash -T<TMPF> -o /etc/mail/access.db')dnl FEATURE(`blacklist_recipients')dnl EXPOSED_USER(`root')dnl dnl # dnl # The following causes sendmail to only listen on the IPv4 loopback address dnl # 127.0.0.1 and not on any other network devices.

Change/add the following and rebuild your sendmail.conf file paying attention to the order(remember you need to listen on both 25 and 537);
CHANGE: dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=submission, Name=MSA, M=Ea’)dnl TO: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=587, Name=MSA, M=Ea’)dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=25, Name=MTA')dnl RUN: m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf You should be good to go then.... |
Thanks, Forest.
I haven't had the chance to do this yet but it just looks right. Bigspot |
I made the changes but I am still getting a password error, Invalid username or password.
I even went into the server via the Ensim control panel and deleted the user then recreated it with to confirn the password but I still get the password error. I can't receive or send through the mailbox. I can't find the /preferences/passwords file where, I think, the passwords are supposed to be stored. |
I made the changes in sendmail.mc but I'm still getting a "invalid user id or password".
I went into the server via Ensim control panel to verify the password and user name. I even deleted the user and then recreated it to be certain of the password and username, but I still get the same error. I think the password is supposed to be stored in a /preferences/passwords file but I can't find that file. Any clues? |
