I have done some testing on my mail server and I'm afraid to say you that I am still suffering with my email server :-( The system is based on postfix+dovecot+mysql. I don't have any firewall running here. I have restarted postfix and dovecot. Now have a look at my ports # netstat -nat Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:993 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:995 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:47015 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:110 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:143 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:465 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 :::47015 :::* LISTEN tcp 0 0 :::80 # nmap localhost Starting Nmap 4.60 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2008-09-22 09:37 CEST Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1): Not shown: 1707 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE 80/tcp open http 110/tcp open pop3 111/tcp open rpcbind 143/tcp open imap 465/tcp open smtps 993/tcp open imaps 995/tcp open pop3s 3306/tcp open mysql Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.261 seconds When I send email through sendmail directly from the server no problem. But If I configure thunderbird to use smtps the client reports it can't connect with the server. I have rechecked everything and there is no problem in the thunderbird setting. If I use smtp rather than smtps I can send mail . More over the mail server is not receiving any mail too :-( I have checked the log files mail; mail.inoi; mail.err; mail.warn but there is no such error log or any message which which provide even a single clue :-( hare is again my "pstconf -n" alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases biff = no canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix data_directory = /var/lib/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 defer_transports = disable_dns_lookups = no disable_mime_output_conversion = no html_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/html inet_interfaces = localhost inet_protocols = all mail_owner = postfix mail_spool_directory = /var/mail mailbox_command = mailbox_size_limit = 0 mailbox_transport = mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq manpage_directory = /usr/share/man masquerade_classes = envelope_sender, header_sender, header_recipient masquerade_domains = masquerade_exceptions = root message_size_limit = 10240000 mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain mydomain = infoservices.in myhostname = Kolkata.infoservices.in mynetworks_style = subnet newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/README_FILES relayhost = relocated_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relocated sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/samples sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail setgid_group = maildrop smtp_sasl_auth_enable = no smtp_use_tls = no smtpd_client_restrictions = smtpd_helo_required = no smtpd_helo_restrictions = smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sender_restrictions = hash:/etc/postfix/access smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/postfix.pem smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/postfix.pem smtpd_use_tls = yes strict_8bitmime = no strict_rfc821_envelopes = no transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_alias_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf,mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-email2email.cf virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-domains.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-maps.cf virtual_transport = dovecot virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 and here is master.cf #smtp inet n - n - - smtpd #submission inet n - n - - smtpd # -o smtpd_etrn_restrictions=reject # -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject smtps inet n - n - - smtpd -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes # -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes #submission inet n - n - - smtpd # -o smtpd_etrn_restrictions=reject # -o smtpd_enforce_tls=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes #628 inet n - n - - qmqpd pickup fifo n - n 60 1 pickup cleanup unix n - n - 0 cleanup qmgr fifo n - n 300 1 qmgr #qmgr fifo n - n 300 1 oqmgr tlsmgr unix - - n 1000? 1 tlsmgr rewrite unix - - n - - trivial-rewrite bounce unix - - n - 0 bounce defer unix - - n - 0 bounce trace unix - - n - 0 bounce verify unix - - n - 1 verify flush unix n - n 1000? 0 flush proxymap unix - - n - - proxymap smtp unix - - n - - smtp # When relaying mail as backup MX, disable fallback_relay to avoid MX loops relay unix - - n - - smtp -o fallback_relay= # -o smtp_helo_timeout=5 -o smtp_connect_timeout=5 showq unix n - n - - showq error unix - - n - - error discard unix - - n - - discard local unix - n n - - local virtual unix - n n - - virtual lmtp unix - - n - - lmtp anvil unix - - n - 1 anvil #localhost:10025 inet n - n - - smtpd -o content_filter= scache unix - - n - 1 scache # # ==================================================================== # Interfaces to non-Postfix software.
