Topic: Problems with Plain SMTP Authentication since SME 7.5 - Bug 5997 - Solved

[AaronG]

Hi All,

I am having problems with Plain SMTP Authentication since upgrading the SME Server 7.5 using the YUM UPDATE command.

I have reported this as a potential bug at: http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5997

I need help to roll back to 7.4 or atleast roll back the mail packages.

can anyone help me please!

Thanks in Advance
Aaron

Downgrading is currently not supported.  The only other option you have is with a current backup is to restore the data on a clean SME Server 7.5.

Also, allow a bit more time for a response on your bug as we are all working in different time zones.

Thanks.

thanks byte.

I shall wait a while longer whilst my bug report is looked at.

Cheers
Aaron

In comment 9 http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5997#c9 you asked, " But I do hope the devs template this setting and make it a proper configuration item."

which has now been done, and the fix is in smeupdates-testing
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/7/smeupdates-testing/i386/RPMS/smeserver-qpsmtpd-2.0.0-6.el4.sme.noarch.rpm

So it would be helpful if you could verify the change that you requested.

I'll rename this thread to make its contents clearer

Hi wellsi....
I have installed the new fix and it works perfectly.
The item appears as a configurable item in the db config commands.
Thanks for such prompt action. Really appreciate it.

Thanks
Aaron

The WGET link doesnt work...as follows, as the link appears to be broken..??

Resolution:

#  wget
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/7/smeupdates-testing/i386/RPMS/smeserver-qpsmtpd-2.0.0-6.el4.sme.noarch.rpm
yum localinstall smeserver-qpsmtpd-2.0.0-6.el4.sme.noarch.rpm
#  signal-event post-upgrade
#  signal-event email-update

#  config setprop qpsmtpd TlsBeforeAuth 0
#  signal-event email-update


= Updated version installed:

smeserver-qpsmtpd-2.0.0-6.el4.sme.noarch.rpm



But using the following does..

yum update smeserver-qpsmtpd --enablerepo=smeupdates-testing

Default is to still require TLS before Auth (as that is more secure), however
if you want to offer AUTH without TLS (which is SME 7.4 functionality)

# config setprop qpsmtpd TlsBeforeAuth 0
#  signal-event email-update

It can be changed back to the default by

# config setprop qpsmtpd TlsBeforeAuth 1
#  signal-event email-update


As as per Bug report Bug 2513

The smeserver-qpsmtpd package has now been released as an update, so if you update your server in the normal way you will have the latest package. That's why you don't see the package in the smeupdates-testing as its now been verified and released.
