I can’t when I send an email to this from another computer on the network using mail.mydomain.com with smtp auth. turned on in thunderbird, I just get it continuously prompting me for a password. I am using the name “info.mydomain” as the username although in virtualmin it says this is the IMAP/FTP what username format should i use for pop3/smtp.
I am able to send mail easily though if i dont use smtp auth in thunderbird. That means smtp auth is not require on the virtualmin setup by default. How can I turn it on?
I am attaching a pic of the postfix smtp auth screen. see below…
if you notice "Reject Anonymous logoins" is on which would suggest that smtp is on? but i am still able to send without username and password? Unless the next item "Allow connections from same network" overides that. Does it?
What does allow connections from this system mean? is that for php scripts? Its unchecked…does that means php scripts like phpmailer using smtp cannot send mail?
Okay, I do see you’re using Ubuntu – but just get the SMTPS/Submission stuff enabled for now, we’ll deal with the permissions issues later… those may all be corrected by now.
