Can't use DA server as SMTP host

[el_dorito]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use my DA as a smtp server but just can't get it to work.

Testing exim using telnet produces auth errors for all users virtual and system
testing exim using remote email client fails to produce system logs
able to send/recieve email using mutt locally on system and using webmail(roundcube)
configuration appears ok

See below


[root@host bah]# telnet localhost 25
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

Are you using correct SMTP authentication (login/password)? Localhost is not allowed by default to send emails using Exim without authentication.

 

[toml]

It is hard to debug much from what you have. Is the username you are using a base64 encoding? If so, does it include the @domain.com? If not then that username/password needs to exist in /etc/password and /etc/shadow if it includes the @domain.com then the username/password needs to exist in /etc/virtual/$domain/passwd file.

You mentioned remote email clients weren't working, there are a few possibilities there, your ISP may be blocking port 25, in which case you may want to use port 587 (non-secure) or port 465 (secure). Another possibility is that your firewall is blocking outside access to any/all of the ports 25, 587, 465.

Hello,

According to your reject_log you are trying wrong password for [email protected].
