Hi all,

I have created a dovecot and postfix email server

My dovecot/IMAP users authenticate by it by there username and passwords that are either created on the local server or my email server queries the LDAP server for authentication

Now I want to have SMTP authentication for my users that use postfix

Basically I want my user on there email clients to tick the box on the outgoing smtp server that says, "use the same authentication method that I use for my IMAP/dovecot server

How do I do this as i think atm my smtp postfix server any one can send out via it so want to lock it down

Many thanks in advanced

Rob

i have configured, postfix and dovecot so the smtp uses authentication from dovecot

now when i come to installing roundcube mail my smtp test fails everytime, can anyone help please

i have attached a link to my screenshots

many thanks

www.filedropper.com/roundcube

sorted it

i ran

chown apache:apache /var/www/html/logs and temp

the database wouldnt connect as the username i put was "root" NOT roundcube

and the SMTP test didnt work as the sender should be my whole email address "robert.wild@robina.ddns.net"

thanks
