SASL Authentication For Mail Server (Sendmail/Postfix)

Mar 18, 2007

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)

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Postfix / Sendmail - Senderdomain Is Not Registered In Panel

May 1, 2015

I have a Plesk installation with Commandline access. Also on this server is a Request tracker installation. (The reason for the commandline access) CentOs 6 Server.

All installations are up to date, but this actually broke my installation after the last Plesk Upgrade.

At the last Plesk upgrade, my Request Tracker installation can no longer use sendmail to send email directly from the server.

The errors I am getting are:
/var/log/maillog:

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Postfix - Mails Sent Through Sendmail Binary Blocked Because Of Wrong HELO

Jun 23, 2014

My server is using Centos 6.5... I updated from Plesk 11.5 to 12 last week and postfix to 2.8.17.

Since then, all mails sent using the sendmail binary (notifications, mail forwards...) are being rejected with a wrong HELO hostname: localhost.

It seems that sendmail is using locahost as a HELO tag which is not accepted. Here is the following error:

Code:

Jun 23 14:23:20 ns395167 plesk sendmail[29817]: handlers_stderr: SKIP
Jun 23 14:23:20 ns395167 plesk sendmail[29817]: SKIP during call 'check-quota' handler
Jun 23 14:23:20 ns395167 postfix/pickup[29480]: B94BC6AA20A6: uid=0 from=<root@curuba.fr>
Jun 23 14:23:20 ns395167 postfix/cleanup[29507]: B94BC6AA20A6: message-id=<20140623122320.B94BC6AA20A6@ns395167.ip-176-31-117.eu>

[Code] .....

Here is my postconf -n content:

Code:

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix

[code] .....

My system hostname seems correct:

Code:
hostname -f
ns395167.ip-176-31-117.eu
hostname
ns395167.ip-176-31-117.eu

Ubuntu VPN Tunnel Between 2 Ubuntu Servers

way to create a VPN tunnel between two ubuntu servers?

Both will be in seperate datacentres but I'd like a secure tunnel so I can setup jobs to backup to one another.

This has to be done on the server level and cannot be done at the router/firewall as I do not have access to this kit.

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Postfix CPU Usage Increases Then Postfix Doesn't Answer

Jul 2, 2014

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.

How To Run PHP 4 And 5 In Ubuntu Without CGI

Jun 21, 2007

When we chose Symfony to implement [url], PHP 5 was needed but we only had PHP 4 installed in our Ubuntu hosting servers. We couldn¡¯t just migrate everyone to PHP 5 since some of client¡¯s applications were incompatible with PHP 5. Some tutorials were found online explaining how to run PHP 4 and PHP 5 simultaneously such as [url] and [url]but they all used CGI. As you probably know, CGI is not scalable and we needed to scale in PHP4 and PHP5 since we needed to server millions of hits in both configurations. The following are additional the requirements we had:

1. Run Apache

2. Use mod_php for both PHP versions.

3. Run eAccelerator with both PHP versions.

4. Use as many Ubuntu packages as possible to ease maintenance issues and easily deploy on multiple servers.

5. Use Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS

The solution we came up with was to run Apache 2 with PHP 5 and run Apache 1 with PHP 4 on separate IPs. Ubuntu comes already with these packages. The only package we had to compile was eAccelerator. The following lists the steps taken to get this setup:

Apache 2 with PHP 5

* apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-cli php5-curl php5-gd php5-mysql php5-dev make php5-mcrypt php5-imap
* vi /etc/php5/cli/php.ini and uncomment extension=mysql.so

* mkdir /var/tmp/{eaccelerator4,eaccelerator5}
* chown www-data /var/tmp/eaccelerator*
* chmod 700 /var/tmp/eaccelerator*

Php.ini On Ubuntu Is Confusing Me

Mar 11, 2009

I am all too familiar with php on my win box but now am working on Linux.

the extension_dir is commented out (??) however CURL does work but there is nothing about CURL in php.ini. I cant find any php.so files.

Also the php.ini file lives in /etc/php5/apache2

Does this look like a standard install? Where do the .so files live?

Ultimatly I want to install Turck MMCache which requires some extensions and when ever I try to do phpize there is the error message
Cannot find config.m4 (google is not helping solve the problem)

apt-get install m4 says I have the latest version.

phpize is a shortcut in usr/bin that points to etc/alternatives/phpize which in turn is a shortcut to usr/bin/phpize5

Sendmail

Apr 6, 2007

i have two issues:

1) I had disabled the php mail() function due to spam, but this has stopped so many hosted scripts to stop emailing their users... how do I enable that function again?

2) in a failed attempt to fix #1 (i thought it was sendmail which caused it) sendmail has stopped sending in or delivering emails... not quite sure why this happened eventhough I backed up sendmail before working on it and reverted back when i failed to resolve the issue?

PHP Sendmail

Jul 31, 2007

My website is running of a windows server, and so doesn't let PHP sendmail work .

I only remembered this recently, and now know why I have been loosing out on clients.

Is there a work around to this? i.e possibly some sort of script that emulates the linux sendmail? Note: I don't have access to the windows server config, it is a shared hosting account.

As I was on windows and hated my hosts spam protection (took almost 3 hours for the spam filter to confirm safety of emails from gmail servers) I moved the email system to an external company, that now manages my pop3/smtp etc. (not sure if this makes any difference - but may as well explain it just incase)

Ubuntu Server Or Debian

Jul 9, 2008

I've just ordered a dedicated server with Ubuntu server, but they've come back to me to say that they've had trouble installing Ubuntu server on these particular servers.

As an alternative, they're offering to install Debian. My concern is that I come from a windows background and have spent the last month reading and playing with Ubuntu Server in vmware. I'll be running a small handful of sites on the server and will rely on the apt-get and package installer in webmin to get things set up and for administration. I'll dabble in the shell a little, but only when needed.

Should I go with a different host that can offer Ubuntu, or will I be okay with Debian?
