Title: Authentication
Post by: markallison on August 26, 2004, 07:34:58 PM: 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

Post by: cc_skavenger on August 27, 2004, 12:59:40 PM: is port 25 open on your connection?

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

good luck

Post by: markallison on August 27, 2004, 07:30:39 PM: 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

Title: SMTP authentication (outbound)

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.

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,
Mark

Post by: markallison on August 29, 2004, 06:18:10 PM: 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,
Mark
Title: it´s working ... I can garantee!
Post by: Jáder on September 01, 2004, 02:15:57 PM: Mark

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! :D).

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 :D

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!

Title: What version of SME are you using?
Post by: nevc64 on October 06, 2004, 04:40:20 AM: 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
Title: Sorry Jader - Your link wasn't to the Powerframe solution!!
Post by: nevc64 on October 06, 2004, 04:46:16 AM: In the previous post I referred to the solution from powerframe.com. Jader did not reference this solution. My error. Apologies to all.
