Install ok, but how to configure smtp?

Post by grandinitc »

Hi all,

Never had trouble installing these kind of softwares before, but i have tried both linux and windows version and is stuck on the same step....everything works fine except that...where to configure the mail-settings? for example this is installed on server with ip 192.168.0.1/24 as hostname server01, but our smtp-server is located at 192.168.0.2/24 with hostname server02.

Let's assume both are in the same domain (company.xyz)

So where on the openemm configuration/files do you get this working?
I have tried running setup.bat in windows and configuring most settings files on linux and still no luck, e-mails simply won't send.

I have tried disabling TLS as well and that is the current running config....some log files the var/spool/queue indicates an authentication error, while others indicate nothing..except mails dont arrive.

in windows, what is the proper way to enter the parameters for the above scenario?

YES, it is a MUST in our environment to host the SMTP and EMM on different servers, and the 192.168.0.2 is setup to allow smtp-relays from 192.168.0.1 (or server01.company.xyz).

Any help apreciated since .... i dont know where else to look for smtp-server, we're hosting our own smtp-servers for several domains and thus we need the two-server relaying solution. can this be done? or is it a requirement that the openemm is installed with a FQDN directly pointed towards it?

Guess we're stuck at where everybody else is having problems...so limited e-mail configuration settings ;).
Anyway still can't send any e-mails neither from built-in client nor from external smtp-relaying.....at least we're making progress with the relaying options now.... getting this error ... and it's most definatly not the wrong authentication!

What is causing this?

Verified through variious stmp authentiation methods including telnet, webmail, clients, mail server console etc....the login
information for the smart-relay is indeed correct with account@domain.com:pass@mailserver.isp (which is our own though but)....how is the SMTP-relaying function forwarding the authentication details? is it in Base64 or standard format? Since we can see that all indications tell us that it's not providing the correct details :/.
