Topic: Authentication

[markallison]

I neeed out going mail to to go through my ISP's mail server.  I know where to add the server name, but where does the authentication (ID and password) information go?

I've look through all of the admin pages but i Can't find it.

Thanks,
Mark

There is no authentication, communication between mail-servers is open.

[markallison]

That may be true in most cases, but my ISP requires it.  Is there a way around this issue?

[cc_skavenger]

is port 25 open on your connection?

If so, then in SME 6, the smtp proxy should send the mail out automatically.

good luck

This is the error that I'm trying to resolve.

Connected to 207.217.125.28 but sender was rejected.
Remote host said: 550 Dynamic IPs/open relays blocked. Contact <openrelay@abuse.earthlink.net>.

In order to run a mail server on a dynamic IP I need a recognized mail server to send through.  I can do this through my ISP, but they require authintication.

Thanks,
Mark

Try this, it may do the trick.

That package isn't legal to distribute in binary, and needs a compiler to build from source.

It's not needed anyway, as I understand it. The latest e-smith-email RPM from Mitel (in the dev directory), includes an outbound SMTP authentication feature, although I'm not sure how you configure it. Search here for posts by Michael Soulier and you might find mention of it.

Bigbri100,

I installed the package and it added the id and password, but the server still refuses the mail.  I may have to purchase a static IP from my ISP. But I'll keep looking.

Thanks,

I used the ETRN (SMTP With client request) and it seems to be working.  I'm not sure if this is what ETRN is intended for or not, but it works.

Thanks for the input,

I have been using that link I passed to you (see above).

Just did another test last weekend... everything
works.

Below it´s a few other commands I have done to it work (I removed my user and password! ).

AND you need to put your delegated ISP server (or this: /sbin/e-smith/config show SMTPSmartHost  will show you nothing!).

After that, on "Outros" I have some commands I write down to an emergency

After install AND put you ISP SMTP on delegate, do these commands:

/etc/e-smith/events/actions/initialize-default-databases

/sbin/e-smith/config setprop smtp-auth-proxy Userid xxxx

/sbin/e-smith/config setprop smtp-auth-proxy Passwd xxxxx

/sbin/e-smith/config setprop smtp-auth-proxy Debug enabled

/sbin/e-smith/config setprop smtp-auth-proxy status enabled

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event email-update

/sbin/e-smith/config show smtp-auth-proxy

/sbin/e-smith/config show SMTPSmartHost



Outros:
/sbin/e-smith/config setprop smtpfront-qmail Proxy disabled
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event remoteaccess-update
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/restart-masq


If you need any help , please write!

Jader,
I tried using the solution to SMTP AUTH from powerframe.com. The set-up and process seemed to be working but the ISP SMTP server would not accept the user name and password I provided. I might not have provided the correct ones.

Just wanted to know what Version of SME you got this solution working with.

Thanks
Neville

In the previous post I referred to the solution from powerframe.com. Jader did not reference this solution. My error. Apologies to all.
