Hi folks,
I'm stuck...any help is appreciated. I am by no means a postfix expert
but I have it working fine for local accounts, trying now to add an
account for a different domain. Apologies in advance for what will be a
lengthy email, I am trying to include sufficient debugging information.
Summary:
My host name is grimdar.com, where I can successfully send and receive
email. I have recently stood up a new domain, sqlyfe.com, which is
hosted on the grimdar box. I want to be able to receive (and send)
email @sqlyfe.com. As of now, receiving email gets top priority
(because no matter what I do on my side, I cannot send mail via ATT
until I acknowledge their verification email sent to sql...@sqlyfe.com).
There is a local account sql...@grimdar.com, which works fine for
receiving email on the grimdar.com domain. I am not interested in
sending email from this particular address, I only created the account
as part of trying to get sql...@sqlyfe.com working. It is a disposable
account from my perspective, it serves no purpose other than a vain
trouble shooting attempt by me. At some point I'll go back and delete
that account.
postfix is running on debian (squeeze). i'm using thunderbird as my
mail client.
Error Messages:
I get no sqlyfe log entries. I figure this is directly related to my
issues, though a big mystery to me.
That aside, here is the message I get when I try to receive email via
thunderbird as sqlyfe.com:
Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server mail.sqlyfe.com
responded: authorization failed. Check your server settings.
I do verify the password is correct. I verify that thunderbird appears
to be checking mail.sqlyfe.com on port 110 for POP, though what is
generating the above error message is beyond me.
Here are my dns entries:
A record:
host: www.sqlyfe.com
IP: 107.205.141.167
CNAME:
host: mail
points to: www.sqlyfe.com
MX:
host: sqlyfe.com
points to: www.sqlyfe.com
The above mirrors my dns entries for grimdar.com.
