Topic: Authenticated SMTP

[GlitchFreak]

Hi there

I enabled authenticated SMTP via the server-manager panel. I put the ip address of the smtp server (hostname is the same as my server hence using the ip will make it go out into the internet and find the real server) in and the username and password.

My problem is that the mail logs now show that the server is trying to send teh mail to 127.0.0.1 and not the ip address I set in the panel.

Also, suffering from 451_temporary_local_prpblem errors?

Any ideas?

If you enable authenticated SMTP to your ISP's SMTP server (SmartHost), then the qmail logs will always show 127.0.0.1, which is the IP address of the proxy which is used to do authentication on behalf of qmail (which doesn't do authentication). The smtp-auth-proxy log should show you whatever errors the proxy is seeing when it connects and tries to authenticate.

What does that mean exactly? What are you doing, and what exactly do you see?

Hi Charlie

Thanks for the reply.

Regarding the 451_temporary_local_error, it was in my qmail logs. Turned out to be a corrupt zone file at my upsteam host which prevented new mail coming in. It has since been resolved.

Thank you again!
