Topic: SMTP Auth for SME 7 ?

[miguelalbore]

I had SMTP Auth as a contrib for my old SME6.  I need this too for my new SME 7.

Any Idea?

Thank you

[miguelalbore]

But i need this without SSL. Thank you again!!

No, you do not. SMTP Auth is a buildin feature in SME7.

db configuration setprop smtpd access public

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


You will now notice that in the server manger you have the option for ssmtp and smtp

[CharlieBrady]

db configuration setprop smtpd access public

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

That will have no effect, and certainly doesn't change outbound SMTP authentication.

He said he wanted it WITHOUT SSL... now forgive me if i am incorrect but won't this achieve that?

[egerards]

I think miguelalbore simply wants that users of the smtp service always have to authenticate themselves. I also had the contrib he mentioned installed when I was running SME6 and there you could enable standard SMTP with authorisation (always) required.

Currently it isn't possible to achieve this via the server manager on SME7.

Probably it's a small configuration item that needs to be changed. Anyone?

[miguelalbore]

Hi Thank you for all your answers.

I have the problem that my SME 7 is used on many places, not neccesary on my LAN Network. Because of that i need that they can send email from any place since my SMTP SME Server on any place where everyone stay.

Any Idea?

Nope.  If you want to authenticate on 25 (i.e. not have to use SSL on 465) then simply
# config setprop smtpd Authentication enabled

don't bother with
# signal-event email-update

You will now have the option of both smtp and ssmtp auth in the servermanager email panel - just choose it and click save

....... and certainly doesn't change outbound SMTP authentication.

indeed, for that i presume we would need to enable and 'setup' smtp-auth-proxy?

[root@test ~]# config show smtp-auth-proxy
smtp-auth-proxy=service
    Debug=0
    Passwd=
    Userid=
    status=disabled

this works for me. om ver.7,1 (tested on 3 diffrent servers)


start outlook and in outlook >>tools >> E-mail Accounts  >>edit
more settings >> "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires aut.
hak on "log on using" and put ind username and pass.
click on "advanced"  and in incomming server change that to
this server require an ..................(995) ok  next and close outlook and start again.

we can now send/recive mail outside the office
after we have done this the security warning don't show up either  

[tariqf]

if I enable smtp auth will my webmail users still be able to send email out? or will I need to change something there also?

[ericchak]

It works for me also now for either SSL on 465 and standard on 25, as some ISP blocked 25, can I change the port for standard (without SSL) using 125 or others?  Thanks

[ericchak]

I mean both main port 25 and second 125 (or other port) without SSL and/or 465 SSL together.  Thank in advance
