Hi all,

I set up Postfix+smapassassian+Amavis-new mail server and I have one small issue, for which I cannot find how to solve it.

When I set up in main.cf

smtpd_tls_security_level = encrypt

to force tls and not accept connections which are not cripted, ( in evolution set as well to use TLS ) I am not able to send mails.

All mails fails with error

host 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] said: 530 5.7.0 Failed,
id=28847-11, from MTA([127.0.0.1]:10025): 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS
command first (in reply to end of DATA command)

I understand what is problem here, amavist-new does not support TLS and all clear. I found that in case amavist and postfix are on same machine it is not necessary to use TLS within loopback ( within machine ), and as solution is recommended to set up in master.cf as :

127.0.0.1:10025 inet n - - - - smtpd
-o content_filter=
-o local_recipient_maps=
-o relay_recipient_maps=
-o smtpd_restrictions_classes=
-o smtpd_delay_reyect=no
-o smtpd_enforce_tls=no
-o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject
-o smtpd_helo_restrictions=
-o smtpd_sender_restrictions=
-o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject
-o mynetworks_style=host
-o mynetworks=127.0.0.0/8
-o strict_rfc821_envelopes=yes
-o smtpd_error_sleep_time=0
-o smtpd_soft_error_limit=1001
-o smtpd_hard_error_limit=1000
-o smtpd_client_connection_count_limit=0
-o smtpd_client_connection_rate_limit=0
-o receive_override_options=no_header_body_checks,no_unknown_recipient_checks


impotrant is : -o smtpd_enforce_tls=no as it is mentioned as solution for other people who run Ubuntu.

But I still have same problem with OpenBSD 4.5 ( upgraded from 4.4 ). All works when I comment out
smtpd_tls_security_level = encrypt in main.cf and
select NONE encription for smtp in evolution.

I really need your opinion about this issue , and opinions are welcome

Sorry for long post

Thank you in advance for any suggestion

Kind regards,

Try adding this to your main.cf:
