Netscape / Firefox / Mozilla users can't send 1

[timmd1968]

Hello,
I saw an old post that touched this subject but it didn't have a resolution.

Now that our email server is up and running on new hardware, our netscape/Thunderbird users get asked for their passwords. It never accepts them.

Outlook and Squirrel Mail are working fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Timm

Okay....

Here is what I did to fix my problem:

Modified the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file and commented out the following:

#/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /usr/bin/true

It should work with this but is doesn't.

Does this make sense?

Paste the whole smtpd run file here. Which version of vpopmail are you running?

how do you tell what version. We followed the qmailrocks.com installation guide.

QMAILDUID=`id -u vpopmail`
NOFILESGID=`id -g vpopmail`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
LOCAL=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/me`
if [ -z "$QMAILDUID" -o -z "$NOFILESGID" -o -z "$MAXSMTPD" -o -z "$LOCAL" ]; then
echo QMAILDUID, NOFILESGID, MAXSMTPD, or LOCAL is unset in
echo /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run
exit 1
fi
if [ ! -f /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts ]; then
echo "No /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts!"
echo "Refusing to start SMTP listener because it'll create an open relay"
exit 1
fi
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 30000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l "$LOCAL" -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd mail.example.com \

# Removed 1.31.2006 by Greg to fix Thunderbird login prob
#/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd mail.example.com \ <---- Should be mail.st-tel.net but breaks it.
#/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /usr/bin/true 2>&1 <---- should be /bin/true

I asked about the vpopmail version: you need to be fairly current for my advice to work. What source code tarball name did vpopmail have?

Any ways, here's my excerpt of qmail-smtpd/run
I think the relevant line at the bottom is that I do not have the "mail.example.com" as you are using.

exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 17000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver \
  -H -l myhost.mydomain.com \
    -v -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
      -c 30 -R -u "$VPOPMAILUID" -g "$VPOPMAILGID" 0 smtp \
      /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -b -C \
 -r 'sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org:Your message was rejected. See  [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.spamhaus.or[/URL]
g/ ' \
   /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \
          /usr/bin/true 2>&1

Here comes "The Link" I always provide in order to understand how the system is built manually and professionally (IMHO)

I just wanted to cleanup that code snippet.

exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 17000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver \
  -H -l myhost.mydomain.com \
  -v -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
  -c 30 -R -u "$VPOPMAILUID" -g "$VPOPMAILGID" 0 smtp \
  /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -b -C \
  -r 'sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org:Your message was rejected. See  [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.spamhaus.org/[/URL] ' \
   /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \
          /usr/bin/true 2>&1
