I did not realize that 465 was legacy, will go through it one more time…
Thank you very much for the response.

In reply to C T. Not sure about that. This tutorial uses SMTP-MSA that uses port 587. Avoid 465, it's considered legacy.

Wonderful tutorial, I have set this up on FreeBSD 11.0, and I hope you are still checking this blog.
i have enabled connection to the server via SSL (993) and it works, I am trying to send via SSL (465) but in maillog I see
Mar 10 21:32:59 freemail postfix/smtps/smtpd[1107]: warning: bsdmini.domain.com[10.10.10.6]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed:
Mar 10 21:33:03 freemail postfix/smtps/smtpd[1107]: disconnect from bsdmini.domain.com[10.10.10.6] ehlo=1 auth=0/2 quit=1 commands=2/4
So my question is that to send via SSL , do I need a ‘system user’ to be able to send ? I can send fine without authentication.
Thx

I use a slightly modified version of this setup, but I started here and it was well worth my time. Good information, thanks

This tutorial is fantastic for someone that has no previous experience in setting up a mail server.

Just one question: Where do I define the username and password for the accounts I want to enable submission port? I’m not using relaying to another mail server.

Great tutorial!

Note, I had issues sending emails with dovecot 1.2.17 + postfix 2.11.7 and Outlook 201x clients..
For some reason these clients kept on disconnecting after the EHLO command, enabling ssl debug didn’t help much, but, this did:

In postfix/main.cf, in the SASL section, add:
smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes

Otherwise AUTH PLAIN LOGIN CRAM-MD5 isn’t displayed in the EHLO sequence, making Outlook very unhappy (or so it seams)..

In reply to Mike W.. Run a crontab script that search for .Trash folders content, older than X days, in your domains ? There are several quota plugins too for dovecot, maybe one does auto-expunge (?)

Any suggestion for a method to clean up files that have been in either the Junk or Trash folders for “x” days or hours?

Thanks

“So /usr/local/etc/postfix/virtual is empty?” I have de same question and the follow issue:

Oct 28 13:51:33 server postfix/smtpd[3314]: connect from s15433861.onlinehome-server.com[74.208.72.7]
Oct 28 13:51:34 server postfix/smtpd[3314]: lost connection after AUTH from s15433861.onlinehome-server.com[74.208.72.7]
Oct 28 13:51:34 server postfix/smtpd[3314]: disconnect from s15433861.onlinehome-server.com[74.208.72.7]

What does mean?
