Cannot download email. Cannot download IMAP folders. Suse 9.2 & Postfix 2.1.5
am 16.07.2005 13:06:55 von iapetos2
Hello to everybody and thank you in advance for any help you can
provide.
I have set up a small office installation having a DMZ using ipcop ver
1.4.6
The red interface is my public internet address (static ip) and I have
also registered an Internet domain name with this static ip.
The green interface is my internal (protected) network and its clients
have Internet access through the proxy server (squid) that bundles
with ipcop.
In the DMZ (orange) network I have put a Suse Linux 9.2 professional
which is both my web and mail server. For web server I use Apache ver2
and for mail server I use postfix version 2.1.5. I forwarded the 80
port for my web server to the external interface (public ip address)
and it works fine with my registered domain (www.mydomain.com). I
forwarded the ports 25 for SMTP (and later port 143 for
external/public IMAP access). I've also forwarded a port for SSH
access to my server and it works fine. My Internet domain can receive
emails and I can relay and send emails through my server(from local
LAN at first and later for testing purposes from Internet also) to the
outside world. So far so good, but the problem that I cannot solve is
that I CANNOT download/receive ANY mail from ANY client inside or
outside my local network using IMAP. First I used outlook express
since I have windows clients. I configured outlook express for IMAP
access on port 143 but when i try to "download" IMAP folders it keeps
telling me to check my user name and password, authentication failed,
error Code: 800cccd1. I thought that it might be outlook and I tried
Thunderbird also, but with no success..the error message was the same:
authentication failed. I use IMAP without SSL. I tried several
modifications but without success. I put one public ip into mynetworks
variable and i could relay email not only from my local network but
from Internet also. But i COULD NOT authenticate through IMAP!! I
could "connect" to 143 port, i could telnet to it(i forwarded it
through ipcop) but i couldn't authenticate through it. I used both
outlook express and thunderbird without success, having the same error
message: authentication failed. The user names and passwords from my
users are definitely right because they can even ssh into the server
without problems. The server accepts and relays emails and i can see
them into the users mailboxes but i cannot download them. I also put
some clients to the Host file in linux just in case the problem was
that the server couldn't resolve their names since it uses the DNS
servers from my ISP because its in the orange zone and
cannot/shouldn't use ipcop for local DNS queries. No luck also..the
problem persists. I looked in google for something similar but i
didn't find anything.
I also use webmin for configuration.
I know that my problem looks like to be an IMAP one. I also post it at
mailing.postfix.users , alt.os.linux.suse comp.mail.misc and
alt.linux.suse because somebody might have faced such a situation and
could help me. Moreover I use Suse distro with postfix...I apologize
for the cross-posting. I also hope that the German fellows in
alt.linux.suse will forgive me for posting this in English since i
don't know German. :-)

Also here is the mail.log file, part of it.

END of logs..
The strange thing is the Logout and Autologout user...Why? Is ipcop
the problem??
Does it break the connection between the server and the clients?? I
don't think so because i can telnet 143 port without problem...and the
port forwarding is ok..
The ips that i didn't "masked" like
NK219-91-99-173.adsl.dynamic.apol.com.tw[219.91.99.173]
are probably spammers trying to use my server as an open relay.
Any help would be very appreciated cause i don't know what to do and i
don't want to use alternatives like send mail(since postfix is much
better) and POP3 instead of IMAP.
P.S.
In the near future i would like to make my server to relay email from
the Internet but only from authenticated users. How can i do this?
Without SSL for start.
Also is there any better way to tell the server from which specific
internet ip to relay mail for? Better way than write it into
mynetworks.
Many thanks in advance.

I'm sorry I can't help you but I really would like to thank you for asking
politely, it's nice to see someone who comes for help not for hate, you are
an example to us all.
Re: Cannot download email. Cannot download IMAP folders. Suse 9.2 & Postfix 2.1.5

This is actually the same problem that leads me into the post that I
made earlier... it seems that the default IMAP server on SuSE 9.2
(known as the UW IMAP) comes compiled without any authentication
methods available. It seems that SuSE attempted to make IMAP more
secure by turning off plain text authentication, but didn't turn on
neither of the more secure MD5 authentication, nor allow plain text
over a secure connect.
This is the reason that I had to make a switch to Cyrus, and have run
into the problem represented in the "Multiple Deliveries" post.
Unless I am mistaken, the only fix for the issue you are having is to
do this same thing and switch to another IMAP server.. I would rather
there be another fix for this issue, though I could not seem to get UW
IMAP to compile properly either - so I have attempted to switch to
another IMAP server - which does not intergrate as easily with Postfix
as the UW server does.
Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Eraser,
Thank you for your interest. You know, i don't think that they have
done (SuSE) such a major mistake. How is it possible removed any kind
of authentication in their IMAP server?? Sounds crazy, at least, to
me. Maybe its something we overlooked...who knows. I'm reading some
documentation according the UW IMAP server they use in their
distributions. If i find anything i'll post it so othes can benefit
from this. I find weird the fact that no-one else was able to solve
this issue. I hope to find the solution.
Be well and thanks again for your interest,
Nestor
