I see to be having a problem with POP before SMTP on my server. I'm running the latest version of Directadmin on Debian 3. I just set this server up so it may not have ever worked. I thought it was turned on by default, but I could be wrong.

When I try to send a message I receive the following error:

"The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was '[email protected]'. Subject 'test', Account: 'mail.domain.com', Server: 'mail.domain.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 authentication required', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79"
 
I don't know if this answers your problem or not, but both Outlook and OE try to send before they try to receive, so you'll always get this error the first time sending with them but if you try again immediately afterwards your email should go through.

I am aware of that annoying issue with O and OE. I did make sure to do a send/receive before sending the test message.
 
Have you played with the exim.conf file at all?

Have you tried to manually test a delivery through exim from the command line to see how it treats the address?

is it a bug?

My clients are angry with me because the clients are not able to send mail using outlookexpress , can you please fix this bug ?
two debian server installed one week back have the same problem

solved pop-before-smtp problem

Hi
This problem is solved
This problem is happen because of da-popb4smtp is not installed properly at the installation time
by creating a link will solve this issue
#ln -s /etc/init.d/da-popb4smtp /etc/rc2.d/S80da-popb4smtp
will solve this issue
this problem is happen for all sarge installations, package maintainers please try to fix this problem in next versions
 
Hello,

I think this is what is missing during the install:
Code: 
update-rc.d da-popb4smtp defaults
I'll add it for the next release. For a fix, you can just run it now.

thanks for your reply

I think you have to fix some more bugs related with spamassassin and perl packages related with spamassassin
apt-get install perl perl-modules libmail-spf-query-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl
I think these packages are missing as the default installation of spam.sh in debian servers
and also need a startup script for start spamd at boot time
vi /etc/init.d/spam.sh
/usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m 5
and updaterc-d spam.sh defaults 20
