I think I'd prefer snakes at this point
It took a bit more than just setting pop3_uidl_format
to get Microsoft Lookout Outlook
to fully work with the email system on the dedicated server. The
customer could receive mail, but not send.
I'll spare you the details (namely because I want to spare
myself the details) but to get Outlook to work with dovecot
and postfix
.
In /etc/postfix/main.cf
:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
And in /etc/dovecot.conf
:
ssl_disable = no auth default { mechanisms = plain digest-md5 cram-md5 login passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot-passwd } # and because once isn't enough ... userdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot-passwd } socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } } # and from yesterday ... pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv
Oh, and make sure saslauthd
is running.
