Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Postfix Not Accepting Plain Authentication?
Jul 28, 2014
I have a brandnew server with CENTOS 6.5 Final with Plesk 12.
For some reason unknown i'm not able to configure Postfix as smtp server and accept plain text autentication. It only accept TLS autentication both on port 25 or 587. If i install Qmail everything works without any problem.
There my configuration files.
(Main.cf)
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix

I have a new Plesk 11.0.9. #34 server with Centos 6.3 64bit.
I made a few changes in order to be PCI Compliant.
I created a domain and try to send email with no luck.
----------Maillog------------
Jan 24 16:01:28 server7 pop3d-ssl: Connection, ip=[::ffff:X.X.X.X]
Jan 24 16:01:34 server7 pop3d-ssl: IMAP connect from @ [::ffff:X.X.X.X]ERR: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:X.X.X.X]
Jan 24 16:01:34 server7 pop3d-ssl: Unexpected SSL connection shutdown.
Jan 24 16:01:48 server7 pop3d-ssl: Connection, ip=[::ffff:X.X.X.X]
[Code] ....
As you can see from the logs, the pop/imap connection is successful. I login to webmail with the username/password successfully. I can't send from Outlook/thunderbird etc.
Tried to rebuild emails with /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk --with-spam but no luck.

I need to be able to access email passwords in plain text (not encrypted). I'm running with updates so as to not force encryption, which I'm told is a one-way deal. I'm going to have to go to new hardware soon, as I'm finding the hardware starting to fail.
I understand the "mail_auth_view" utility shows the passwords, and was wondering if it will decrypt them for you?
If not, how can I keep the behavior of non-encrypted email passwords so that the customer administrators still have access to them for their users? I know a new install forces encryption, which is why I can't do that. How can I preserve the non-encrypted passwords and move to new hardware? This seems to be a deal breaker for my customers.

My issue started ince a couple of months seemed to increase with update to Plesk 12.0 (though I can't guarantee it).I am using Centos 6.5, all updated. What happens is that postfix usage starts to increase without any apparent reason (during week-ends for example). Then postfix is not responding anymore.

I recently moved to virtual dedicated hosting for my website, mainly because I wanted a better mail server to work with to manage a mailing list.
I have a few PHP software scripts for different things: managing affiliates and email marketing.
I want to send mail using both of those via SMTP on my new server. They both have a place to type in the host and username/password.
The problem I am noticing is SASL Authentication. They attempt to connect to the host without any trouble. However, the affiliate software fails SASL Authentication every time I try to send an email or test the email system.
Email marketing software connects when I manually send a campaign. However, users are supposed to immediately receive a confirmation mail upon opting in. In this case, it shows up as an attempt in the mail log, but it fails SASL Authentication. I don't know if it's a problem with the software or not, since it attempts to connect but fails, yet connects successfully in other cases.
My question is this: Is there another way around this? I've contacted my host to double check on the appropriate username/password to pass authentication. I will also be contacting the software developers after I receive an answer.
But if nothing comes of it, is there any way around it? Is there a place where I can have it automatically authenticate if the email is coming from a certain user, or if the attempt is being made from the same server (everything sits on the same server, I use localhost in the software to connect to the mail server). Since I am the only person who has access to the server and uses it, it seems safe to automatically authenticate if the request is being asked by the server itself...
I'm just looking for other alternatives if the software does indeed have a problem and I cannot figure it out.
Keep in mind I am very new to all this server and root access. Just a few days ago I was on a shared hosting plan, so I didn't have any access to anything. With that in mind, I know very little about mail servers, although I've been learning more over the past few days. I only stumbled upon the mail logs on my server recently by browsing files in the control panel (I'm not familiar with SSH, although I do have access to it)

Lately I've been spending a lot of time grok'ing the Postfix logfile (i.e., /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog) and I've been noticing a lot of authentication failures (and even one successful break-in).
Most entries are just a simple pair of log entries that includes the source IP address and then the details of the mailbox name, like this one:
Code:
Aug 12 08:08:18 www postfix/smtpd[4805]: warning: unknown[162.255.86.250]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure
Aug 12 08:08:20 www plesk_saslauthd[4434]: failed mail authenticatication attempt for user 'media@example.com' (password len=6)
[Code]....
How are these entries generated? i.e., Why mailbox name given right away some times (like the first example) while - other times - the account name isn't displayed for several seconds - almost ninety seconds in the second example?

I would like each of my clients who have a dedicated IP address and an SSL certificate to be able to use their own domain name (and own certificate) when sending mail on ports 465 or 587. I have managed to change the default certificate used by Postfix to my own server's certificate, but I want users to use their OWN IP address and SSL certificate when sending, so this is not an option.
I have been able to update Dovecot to use a specific certificate for each IP address, but I can't seem to update Postfix. I was trying to follow these instructions but my postfix master.cf was quite different than the poster's file and I didn't succeed: [URL] ....
I know many people will simply say "it can't be done" or "just get the users to use the shared IP address", but I know there must be some workaround to make this work, even if it means manually updating the config file after every Plesk update. I'm even prepared (if possible) to have Plesk abandon management of Postfix and have me manage it manually, if that's even an option.

Each migration in the last years I'm running into this bug that Postfix wants to run on port 587 even though this is turned OFF in the Plesk Panel.
Sometimes it does this after some update.
Because another process is running on port 587 this means that postfix does not start and I have some downtime until I "repair" this.
"Repairing" means going into Plesk panel and turning ON SMTP-Auth.... Wait a moment for it to apply and then turning it OFF again....
This unwanted behaviour can be easily reproduced by having this option turned off in the Plesk panel and then running /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk --without-spam
This will end up in a non-running postfix if another process is already running on port 587.
This shouldn't be happening. Especially because I reported this behaviour years ago..

on a fresh debian 7 64bit openvz system we actually have a problem with the new plesk 12 feature of limiting outgoing mails.We migrated about 25 systems to plesk, this is the first that makes problems.If limiting outgoing mails is activated (i double-checked all possible checkboxes in plesk) a fresh mailbox gives us the following error while trying to send via smtp:
Aug 15 13:09:32 2d4 postfix/smtpd[8645]: connect from unknown[XX.XX.XX.XX]

After deactivating the feature all mail is sent without any problems. We use postfix + dovecot.

There are several big domains that frequently defer accepting mail from us causing long delays or rejections. Google, AOL, and Yahoo are examples. I'm considering trying the suggestions found in this online posting regarding rate limiting the sending of messages to those domains. In the below URL, please see the section titled "Different policies for different domains"...URL....
Would these changes be safe to make on a CentOS 6.4 server running Plesk 11.0.9 with Postfix 2.8.4? Would any special modifications for Plesk be necessary?

I am unable to switch from qmail to postfix via the control panel. It opens a new window that just hangs and never loads. While waiting for it to load, I see these 2 processes running..
root 25108 0.1 0.0 133972 20604 ? S 21:58 0:00 /var/cache/parallels_installer/parallels_installer_CentOS_6_x86_64 --service-mode=components --enable-xml-output --ssl-cert /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.pem --branch release,stable --web-interface --with-ssl --disable-browser
root 25109 0.0 0.0 104952 3032 ? S 21:58 0:00 /var/cache/parallels_installer/parallels_installer_CentOS_6_x86_64 --service-mode=components --enable-xml-output --ssl-cert /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.pem --branch release,stable --web-interface --with-ssl --disable-browser
But after waiting 20 minutes, the browser never loaded and the two proceses remain. So I killed both processes and removed /tmp/psa-installer.lock and started again. The same thing happened.
Is there a way to fix this? If not, is there an easy way to switch MTAs from the command line?

I've a problem with a server with Postfix. Emails (smtp) are refused by an operator because there is too many mail sent in a few moment.
With Qmail, we make this config :
1) we create file concurrencyremote
# vi /var/qmail/control/concurrencyremote
with the value 3
2) we restart Qmail and it's ok
With Postfix, we make that :
1) we modify the file /etc/postfix/main.cf
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 3
2) In /etc/postfix/transport :
wanadoo.com slow ;
wanadoo.fr slow ;
orange.fr slow ;
orange.com slow ;
laposte.net slow ;
.wanadoo.com slow ;
.wanadoo.fr slow ;
.orange.fr slow ;
.orange.com slow ;
3) After :
#postmap /etc/postfix/transport
4) In /etc/postfix/master.cf :
slow unix - - n - 5 smtp -o syslog_name=postfix-slow -o smtp_destination_concurrency_limit=3 -o slow_destination_rate_delay=1
5) In /etc/postfix/main.cf :
slow_destination_recipient_limit = 20
slow_destination_concurrency_limit = 3
And we modify :
transport_maps = hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/transport, hash:/etc/postfix/transport
6) At the end :
# /etc/init.d/postfix reload
But it doesn't work. Operator "Orange" refused emails.
In maillog, we have :
dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (mail transport unavailable)

after reinstalling the mta / postfix / smtp (because I couldn't send mails) my plesk is crashed.
I wanted to log in as admin but it doesn't accept my PW. Now with root and then it wants me to accept the license.
Now I copy all my /var/www/vhosts/ maybe when I do the setup steps in plesk it will overwrite all my website content... I hope not all plesk settings are away.
Why I pay every month money for a license? The trouble and work I have with Plesk..

I'm currently experiencing a lot of problems, using Horde. Users are not able to log-in due to this error:

I've already tried re-installing Horde, but without success.
There's an article in your KB, but `/var/lib/php/session` does not exist and `/var/lib/php5/sessions` has the required perms.
I've also tried to set session.save_path to `/var/lib/php5/sessions` in `/etc/psa-webmail/horde/horde/php.ini` and after a restart, sessions are written into that directory. But the problem still exists.
Code:

My environment: Parallels Plesk v12.0.18_build1200140606.15 os_Debian 7.0 64bits - postfix
In documentation about Server-wide-mail settings
In Plesk for Linux with the Postfix mail server, you can change the IP address used for sending mail. Also, if your server sends mail from domain IP addresses, you can specify which name will be used as a host name in SMTP greetings.
Choose from the three options:
◦Send from domain IP addresses. By default, mail from each domain is sent using the domain's IP address. The host name used in SMTP greeting is defined by the configuration of the mail server.
◦Send from domain IP addresses and use domain names in SMTP greeting. If selected, Plesk changes the mail server configuration so that the SMTP greeting will contain the name of the domain from which an email message is sent.
This option prevent the sender's IP address from being put into public black lists, such as the Spamhaus or OpenBL lists. This might happen if the mail server host name is used in SMTP greeting for the messages sent from domain IP addresses. Some recipient servers consider such messages as spam.
We recommend that you use this option if you host less than 100 domains. In case of a large number of domains, using this option significantly increases the load on the server.
◦Send from the specified IP address. You might want to use certain IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for all outgoing mail.
Sending all mail from the specified address might be useful, for example, if the IP address of the mail server was put into public black lists, such as the Spamhaus or OpenBL lists. If you select None, outgoing mail will not be sent.Click to expand...
