Dovecot Issues on Debian 12

Webmin

Can you show the corresponding record for this domain in the /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf file?

I dug deeper and found another bug that broke autoconfig on both Thunderbird and Outlook.

We should make an Escape Room movie where the only way out is by successfully setting up mail.

Was your SMTP Thunderbird auto-configured to use SSL on port 465 or STARTTLS on port 587?

Anyway, can you do a quick test for us? Apply the following patch, then toggle “Email Settings → Mail Client Configuration” from “Yes” to “No”, then back to “Yes”, and try configuring Outlook again.

Yes, certainly.

Is this it ? -

local_name effezascience.com {
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/virtualmin/169225344617803/ssl.combined
ssl_key = </etc/ssl/virtualmin/169225344617803/ssl.key
}
local_name *.effezascience.com {
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/virtualmin/169225344617803/ssl.combined
ssl_key = </etc/ssl/virtualmin/169225344617803/ssl.key
}

This was SSL on Port 465 as much as I remember. I can check on Wednesday or maybe earlier. It’s 8pm in India now and the client’s office is shut. Plus, we have 4 days of holidays in India starting tomorrow because of Diwali.

25

Thanks! Yes, it was port 465 used as a fallback because auto-config was ignored after a wrongly configured POP block. It should have been 587.

26

Well, it did work on port 465

27

Yes, I know it works on port 465.

28

Is this what you wanted? Or something else?

29

Let us know if Outlook works for your client now with the patch above and if you will still be running Virtualmin 7.40 at that time.

30

Certainly. Will report as soon as the client gets back to work. .

31

Did this. Didn’t work. Nothing changed. Virtualmin version - 7.50.0

32

Did you reset client auto configuration by first disabling and then re-enabling it on “Email Settings ⇟ Mail Client Configuration” page?

33

Yes, I did exactly what you said.

34

Alright, then the issue must be something else. Since this only happens with Outlook, it’s most likely an Outlook issue.

35

Yes, it must be.

Thank you for your efforts.
