kajlaajay · Jul 2, 2016

Hello Brothers/Sisters

Please help me out with this problem. I am new to linux and its commands i can only use a little vi editor. Sorry if this type of thread posted earlier but i need solution please.

Here is my problem - "SMTP Error (250): Authentication failed." in roundcube

I did some changes in my mail server like postfix and dovecot from some website steps to secure my emails but got only problems no solution. I modify many files in my centos 7 server to secure but nothing happen.

Few errors after using different website steps to use postfix and dovecot:-
1. SMTP Error (250): Authentication failed.
2. connection failed
3. nothing happen only processing in roundcube

Now i am not getting any mails and not able to send too.

To solve my problem i delete every line which i write for postfix and dovecot (i think i deleted but maybe few left which i dont remember or dont understand)

Please help because this is my production vps and i dont want to loose this server at all.

Other then mail server everything is working fine.

From your errors, I can see them came from your changes on files, what codes have you added and what files did you change? we need to know in details so can help you out.

If no, you can need to reinstall postfix and dovecot on your VPS in the case the problem it not solved.

Thanks for really fast response

I followed different sites steps now not even remember all but one last website name i remember i can send you links you can check what i modified if possible. All that i mentioned that i deleted the lines i added using those websites.

I followed these three pages to implement postfix and dovecot and i messed up my mail server before this implementation. After getting errors from different websites steps i lastly used this website and found no luck with this too.

Frst off, you need to remove postfix and dovecot before reinstall them

# systemctl stop postfix
# yum remove dovecot-postfix

If you also want to delete your local/config files for dovecot-postfix then using this code

yum purge dovecot-postfix

Otherwise, you can do a fresh installation on a different server (new server) and compare config files between new server and old server ( which you are getting errors ) to know which ones you have added, from there, you can remove exacts things and restart your mail server for working.

Simply you overwrite files from new server to old server so you have got a fresh installation.

Please send the fresh installation of postfix and dovecot commands because i dont have anyother server for fresh installation.

And what do you mean by "if you also want to delete" - is it necessary or not - if its necessary then i follow this command.

is there any other effect by removing postfix and dovecot.

PLease send the command for fresh installation of postfix and dovecot

Installing dovecot

Code:

yum -y install dovecot

After installation you can open file dovecot.conf in /etc/dovecot/ and add the below line at the end of the file.

Code:

protocols = imap pop3
mail_location = maildir:~/mail
pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv

Now start dovecot service

service dovecot start

Automatically start the dovecot at startup

Code:

chkconfig --level 235 dovecot on

Installing postfix

Code:

yum -y install postfix

Next, install SMTP AUTH packages

Code:

yum -y install cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-devel cyrus-sasl-gssapi cyrus-sasl-md5 cyrus-sasl-plain

Postfix package installation is completed .
