I had permission issues on docker, its fixed by running chown command at
docker init.

Apple mail works but thunderbird unable to connect
Dear all, I am stuck on this issue for days, I am able to connect on my IMAP server using Apple mail client but thunderbird shows me this error: "improper command pipelining after EHLO" I have tried all the ports in manual config but it just is not working while Apple Mail is able to connect perfectly, here are my configuration details of "postconf -n" , "doveconf -n" and " master.cf" https://pastebin.com/M3XG9DXA Thanks in advance.
Re: Apple mail works but thunderbird unable to connect
Thanks Mark, I don't have iptables or other firewall block this port, it is behind a load balancer and port 993 is open. I am pretty sure it's something in my configuration which I linked above: https://pastebin.com/M3XG9DXA On Mon, Jun 22, 2020 at 7:36 PM Mark Stevens wrote: > > make sure ports are set correctly in IPtables as it seems to be failing on > TLS/SSL (open port 993) > > Mark > > On 6/22/2020 12:19 PM, Dshah wrote: > > Dear all, > > I am stuck on this issue for days, I am able to connect on my IMAP server > using Apple mail client but thunderbird shows me this error: "improper > command pipelining after EHLO" > > I have tried all the ports in manual config but it just is not working > while Apple Mail is able to connect perfectly, > > here are my configuration details of "postconf -n" , "doveconf -n" and " > master.cf" > https://pastebin.com/M3XG9DXA > > Thanks in advance. > > > >
Re: Apple mail works but thunderbird unable to connect
Hi all, First I would like to Thank you all, it is such a responsive and wonderful community here. I started to debug the issue by streaming logs and figured that EHLO was being sent when I click "Re-Test" button on thunderbird, another issue I encountered I was not able to connect ports 465/993, It was not blocked by firewall cause I could see live streaming logs, I think it's more on postfix side which I have sent for help. here are my logs https://pastebin.com/7xRHax4q and config ( postfix, dovecot) https://pastebin.com/M3XG9DXA In case someone could help, I can pay a small amount for figuring out this issue.

Re: Apple mail works but thunderbird unable to connect
I disabled postscreen and enabled logging, I have all ports working except 993, in log when I try to connect on port 993 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=10.244.0.24, lip=10.244.0.108, TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number, session= I found that I could disable ssl3 by "ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3" but this option is not working (dovecot 2.3.10.1 (a3d0e1171) On Tue, Jun 23, 2020 at 6:27 PM Michael Peddemors wrote: > On 2020-06-23 8:24 a.m., Alexander Dalloz wrote: > > Am 23.06.2020 um 07:33 schrieb Bernardo Reino: > >> If you use postfix a "workaround" is to temporarily disable > >> postscreen, which IIRC is the one (rightly) complaining about the > >> improper pipelining. > >> > >> Cheers, > >> Bernardo Reino > > > > No, submitting on SMTP port 25 would be the wrong step.
