Hi All
... the solution is probably staring me in the eye somewhere, but I have googled for a few hours without finding it.
I have a webmin/postfix server set up. Postfix used sasl_auth for user authendication. I have one company which uses this server for outgoing email, who want to send email directly from their accounts software and from what I gather there is not an option for this authendication within the accounts software. They are on a fixed IP, so I thought adding their IP address to mynetworks (In postfix 'General Options' I set 'Local Networks to '127.0.0.0/8 The.ir.ip.add/28'.
The result of this was that my other users could no longer log in. Any idea how to achieve what I am trying to do? Any help is much appreciated.<br><br>Post edited by: OnTheRoadInWales, at: 2009/05/27 03:21
Well, first off, I'll offer that very few email clients lack an email authentication feature.
A large number of ISP's are requiring authentication -- and that'd be really bad if clients didn't support it :-)
But, you should be able to add a new IP address, or IP range, to the mynetworks setting.
You can either add something like 1.2.3.4 if it's a single IP, or 1.2.3.4/28 if it's a range of IP's.
Adding a new IP shouldn't break things for existing users unless perhaps there was a syntax error relating to that line.
If you try adding the IP again, you might want to look in the email log (/var/log/maillog or /var/log/mail.log) to see if there are any errors.
You could also try manually adding it to mynetworks by logging in over SSH, and editing /etc/postfix/main.cf.
