Subject:[courier-users] SMTP Authentication ProblemActions...

Hello,

I am using FreeBSD 6.1 with following setup:

courier-0.53.2 Courier SMTP IMAP POP3 HTTP mail server suite courier-authlib-base-0.58_2 Courier authentication library base courier-authlib-userdb-0.58_2 Userdb support for the Courier authentication library

I have two problems that I need assistance with:

1. I am using Thunderbird mail client and setup SMTP with authentication. When I send a message it takes quite long for it to go through. The server logs are as follows: Dec 22 17:13:28 server courieresmtpd: started,ip=[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Dec 22 17:13:29 server courieresmtpd: error,relay=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,msg="535 Authentication failed.",cmd: YWJpZCBlNDU2YTJkYWUwZjNhMzFjNGViMTEyMGMyMTc2ODJlYg== Dec 22 17:13:37 server courierd: newmsg,id=0024A81C.458C5891.000097C8: dns; [192.168.2.30] (my.domain.name.tld [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]) Dec 22 17:13:37 server courierd: started,id=0024A81C.458C5891.000097C8,from=[1]<me@my.tld>,module=esmtp,host=gmail.com,addr=[2]<some@gmail.com> Dec 22 17:13:37 server courierd: Waiting. shutdown time=none, wakeup time=none, queuedelivering=1, inprogress=1 Dec 22 17:13:37 server courieresmtp: id=0024A81C.458C5891.000097C8,from=[3]<me@my.tld>,addr=[4]<some@gmail.com>: 250 2.0.0 OK 1166825605 e14si3746237qba Dec 22 17:13:37 server courieresmtp: id=0024A81C.458C5891.000097C8,from=[5]<me@my.tld>,addr=[6]<some@gmail.com>,size=516,success: delivered: gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [72.14.205.27] Dec 22 17:13:37 server courieresmtp: id=0024A81C.458C5891.000097C8,from=[7]<me@my.tld>,addr=[8]<some@gmail.com>,size=516,status: success Dec 22 17:13:37 server courierd: completed,id=0024A81C.458C5891.000097C8 Dec 22 17:13:37 server courierd: Waiting. shutdown time=Fri Dec 22 17:21:24 2006, wakeup time=Fri Dec 22 17:21:24 2006, queuedelivering=0, inprogress=0

I can't figure out what is causing the authentication error, as the email eventually goes through without any further action on my part.

2. I would like to change to the default logging options. Currently each and every pop login gets written to my maillog file. I would prefer to have this written to a different file. I setup an entry in my syslog.conf:

pop3d.* /var/log/pop3dlog

But this didn't switch over the logging. I'm guessing that I need to alter something in one of the courier config files? If so, any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays to all.

Abid
