Server to server smtp auth

Hello,
I have a Messaging 6.x (JES 2005Q4 version) installation. All outbound email must go
through an external MTA so I added a smartrelay (daemon in tcp_local channel) and all works ok but the external MTA requires authentication so the question is:
how can I configure to send SMTP AUTH to the smartrelay?
I get the following when sending mail:
27-Jan-2006 18:42:00.44 tcp_local R 1 [email protected] rfc822;[email protected] [email protected] dns;outbound.relay.com (outbound.relay.com ESMTP Exim 4.51 Fri, 27 Jan 2006 19:41:57 -0500) smtp;550 You must authenticate to use this relay
I have set this up in a postfix installation and all works ok.
Thanks all in advance.

Eem on cisco 877, trouble with mail server action and smtp auth

hello all,
i'm using a router 877 at home and i really need to check out what this router do during the day.
So some time ago i configured it using some eem actions and sending to me email, without any problems.
Yesterday I changed my internet provider and now i need to use smtp autheticantion to send emails.
I read about how to authenticate, like username:password@host and also made a fast search here, without solve my problem.
I need to put as username the email of the provider like: [email protected]:[email protected]
So, i want to know if someone had the same problem and solved it. Of course i couldn't use @ two times or eem would think that host.com is my smtp server! And right now is going in this way!
My IOS version is 15.1(2)T2, eem version is 3.1.
Hope someone could help me!
Thank you in advance.

Can I make another website using iWeb,then publish it to a different server through the SMTP panel on iWeb

Can I make another website using iWeb, and then publish it to a different server through the SMTP panel on iWeb, even though I have a website published on mobile me, can I just use the SMTP engine to publish a different site but to a different server, that's the question I'm asking. I'm hoping for a quick reply. Thank you for your time in reading this.

Yes. You can do it one of two ways:
1 - select FTP Server in the Publish To menu (click on the site folder to get to the options) and enter the FTP address, username and password and publish as you would if using MMe.
2 - select Publish to Folder and publish. Use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck to upload the site files to there server using the FTP address, etc.

If you are talking about iCloud email you shouldn't need to put anything in. Sign in in System Preferences>iCloud and check 'Mail' in the checklist there and it should set it up automatically.
If you really want to know the server details they are listed here:

Fax server can't SMTP to GroupWise Server

I recently set up a new Fax server. Incoming faxes are supposed to be converted to a PDF file and emailed to a particular recipient based on the telephone number that they're faxed to.
My problem is, I can't seem to connect to SMTP on my Groupwise server from my fax server. They're both on the same subnet. The Fax server can ping the Groupwise server, but if i try the following:
"C:\telnet groupwisesreverip 25"
from the fax server I get:
"Could not open connection to the host, on port 25: Connect failed"
This worked fine on the old fax server.
I've added the IP of the new fax server as a host that the Groupwise server will accept SMTP relay connections from. I don't know what else to check.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

What server OS version is you fax server running on? Could it be something with an outgoing firewall rule on the fax server?
I'm assuming port 25 on the Groupwise server can be telnet'ed from another system without issue?

NW 6.5.8 CIFS access from Server 2012 R2 (domain auth)

Need to access (without installing client) NW 6.5.8 server from Server 2012 R2.
Up to Server 2008 R2 Domain authentication works perfectly fine, on 2012 R2 I managed to get it working a couple of times, never again. Reverting to eDir authentication with SMB Signature disabled works (can access shares fine)
Is that known issue? (not that I would expect any fix for an obsolete OS)

AuthenticationFailedException when using JNDI and JavaMail with SMTP auth

Hi all - I've been banging my head on this one for awhile now - hopefully someone else has done this.
We are working in a servlet container (tomcat), and need obtain a mail session from JNDI. We do this as follows:
               Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
               Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
               Session mailSession=(Session) envCtx.lookup("mailSession/trumpetinc");so far so good. The jndi entry for the mail session is configured in server.xml as follows:
          <Resource name="mailSession/trumpetinc" scope="Shareable" type="javax.mail.Session"/>
          <ResourceParams name="mailSession/trumpetinc">
            <parameter>
              <name>mail.smtp.host</name>
              <value>mail.server.com</value>
            </parameter>
            <parameter>
              <name>mail.smtp.password</name>
              <value>ABCDEFG</value>
            </parameter>
            <parameter>
              <name>mail.smtp.user</name>
              <value>trumpet_kevin</value>
            </parameter>
         <parameter>
           <name>mail.smtp.auth</name>
           <value>true</value>
         </parameter>
          </ResourceParams>With the above, whenever we hit Transport.send(msg), we got an AuthenticationFailedException thrown. I have run into this before with SMTP authentication, so I decided to try using the transport.sendMessage() method instead.
So, I get the transport:
Transport trans = mailSession.getTransport("smtp");
trans.connect();Then I send my message using:
msg.saveChanges();
trans.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());and finally, I close the transport:
trans.close();Unfortunately, I'm still getting the exception. Is it possible that my connect() method is not picking up the JNDI properties set in the server.xml file (this seems likely)? If so, what's the best way for me to get those properties so I can set them explicitly in the connect() method?
Thanks in advance,
- Kevin

Hi,
I have faced the same problem and after some googling and trying I have discovered what causes the AuthenticationFailedException exception. I just wanted to share the knowedge maybe it will be helpfull to others.
Here it is what the API says:
To use SMTP authentication you'll need to set the mail.smtp.auth property (see below) and provide the SMTP Transport with a username and password when connecting to the SMTP server. You can do this using one of the following approaches:
1.Provide an Authenticator object when creating your mail Session and provide the username and password information during the Authenticator callback.
Note that the mail.smtp.user property can be set to provide a default username for the callback, but the password will still need to be supplied explicitly.
This approach allows you to use the static Transport send method to send messages.
2.Call the Transport connect method explicitly with username and password arguments.
This approach requires you to explicitly manage a Transport object and use the Transport sendMessage method to send the message. The transport.java demo program demonstrates how to manage a Transport object. The following is roughly equivalent to the static Transport send method, but supplies the needed username and password:
Using the Transport.connect makes the JNDI not very helpfull for configuration.
It seems that using just the mail.smtp.user and mail.smtp.pass is not sufficient for the authentication.
so, the solution is :
just place these to lines in the JNDI configuration:
          username="test"
          password="test1"
so it should looks as follows:
          <Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container"
          type="javax.mail.Session"
          username="test"
          password="test1"
          mail.transport.protocol="smtp"
          mail.smtp.auth="true"
          mail.smtp.host="localhost"
          mail.smtp.port="25"
          mail.smtp.user="test"
          mail.smtp.password="test1"
/>
where test and test1 are the user's credentials

http://www.spamhaus.org says:
Mail servers only run spam filters such as Spamhaus PBL on port 25, so if you find you are being blocked by the PBL when you try to send mail to your mail server that means you are not communicating with the mail server on the 'authenticated' port 587 but you're still on port 25. This means your 'SMTP Authentication' is not working correctly.
http://wiki.gandi.net/en/mail/standard-settings#smtp-account says:
SMTP Account
Name server : mail.gandi.net
Port : 25, 465 (with SSL) or 587 (try one or the other)
TLS or SSL: yes
SMTP Authentication : yes, using the same settings as for the POP / IMAP account
I was trying to use the same settings I have used for several years with Thunderbird and Apple Mail, ie SSL on port 465.
Is there something wrong with my settings which could be preventing mailx from using port 465?
A few debug tips would be appreciated.
Your link causes me to ask: Does the mailx on Leopard support SMTP directly?

OS X's Mail app and SMTP auth

We're having a problem with OS X's Mail app connecting to Tiger Server's mail server. We have the server set up to not always require SMTP auth (all SMTP auth settings unchecked in Settings > Advanced > Security), and to allow relay from only a given set of networks (Settings > Relay). In theory, this means that if you're on one of the specified networks, you're not required to authenticate, otherwise you are. This according to Apple's documentation.
From a bit of packet sniffing, it looks like:
1. If a user on an allowed network tries to send mail through the server, the server does not return authorization as an option.
2. If the user has password authentication specified in Mail's SMTP Server settings, it refuses to send. If they set SMTP auth to None, the Mail app will send.
IOW, Mail doesn't send if Authorization is enabled in the Mail app, but not given as an option by the mail server. Has anyone else seen this? Is this a bug in Mail or Postfix?

If you have networks entered in
'Accept SMTP relay only from these hosts and
networks'
Clients on these networks don't need to authenticate
for local delivery or relay.
So it does what you are looking for.
Jeff
Well, goddarn it - so it does!
I was testing various permutation (10.3.4) just recently and it just wouldn't relay without auth if any of them was selected (honest!). That was with the trusted relay....
...but I just tried it again and it's fine!
I had put it down to just another 'glitch' in the documentation.
Oh well - glad you were there to point it out Jeff!
Whilst we are on the subject - do you know of any way to tie authentication (outwith trusted network) to specified users? I was thinking there might be a Postfix parameter for this (sorry, I should just look them all up but maybe someone knows it already)?
Thank, and sorry for any earlier confusion!

Pop before smtp and smtp auth

Hi Jay,
hope all is well with you.
what is pop before smtp and how to see if it is enabled?
what is smtp auth and how to see if it is enabled? Is it enabled by default on MS 6.x?
what happens if smtp auth is not enabled? Will my mail server be a relay?
Is there any additional configuration that should be done on messaging server to allow connection for dial-up users?
thanks,

Hi Jay,
hope all is well with you.
what is pop before smtp and how to see if it is
enabled?Pop before SMTP is a very old, and little used method for "authenticating" users. There is virtually no reason to turn this on, anymore.
It's done through the MMP, and is the only reason to actually use the SMTP proxy that's part of MMP.
I would not go there unless your environment requires it. Most do not. Most clients support SMTP authentication, which is much better, and is on by default.
>
what is smtp auth and how to see if it is enabled? Is
it enabled by default on MS 6.x?See above. Yes, smtp authentication is on by default.
>
what happens if smtp auth is not enabled? Will my
mail server be a relay?Totally different issue.
No.
If smtp auth is off, if you have external users, they likely will not be allowed to send to other external users..
>
Is there any additional configuration that should be
done on messaging server to allow connection for
dial-up users?If "dial-up users" means that they come from ip addresses outside your network, then smtp auth will allow them full access.
thanks,

DIsable smtp auth only for an ip

Dear gurus,
I have sun messaging server 6 running perfectly alright and only new thing which I would like to incorporate is to disable smtp auth only for one ip address.I am new to this system and have gathered following information from sun messaging docs, the steps which I followed..
1) Create a table DISABLE_SMTPAUTH_IP similar to INTERNAL_IP mapping table in mapping file
INTERNAL_IP
10.18.18.19 $Y
10.18.18.38 $Y
10.18.18.30 $Y
127.0.0.1 $Y
* $N
! Added on 01092008 for disabling smtp_auth
DISABLE_SMTPAUTH_IP
external.ip.addres $Y
*$N
2) ALLOW PORT ACCESS
*PORT_ACCESS
*|*|*|*|* $C$|DISABLE_SMTPAUTH_IP;$3|$Y$E
*|*|*|*|* $C$|INTERNAL_IP;$3|$Y$E
3) Then right after the current rewrite rule in imta.cnf file Created new TCP CHANNEL
! Do mapping lookup for internal IP addresses
[] $E$R${INTERNAL_IP,$L}$U%[$L]@tcp_intranet-daemon
added a new rewrite rule:
! Do mapping lookup for "no smtp auth", non-internal IP addresses
[] $E$R${DISABLE_SMTPAUTH_IP,$L}$U%[$L]@tcp_nosmtpauth-daemon
! ttcp_nosmtpauth-daemon

run /opt/SUNWmsgr/sbin/imsimta refresh
alternatively tried imsimta cnbuild and imsimta restart
but still i get Mail rely denied when I try sending messages from the same trusted IP without doing AUTH.
I would like to know...
1) If there is something mising or wrong in above steps
2) HOw do i check if the messages from that IP(for which smtp auth is disabled) is passing from the tcp_nosmtpauth channel...
THanks for giving your valuable time...

thanks very much shane for giving time...

Why would you want to disable SMTP Authentication? What are you attempting to achieve by doing this -- what is the problem you are trying to solve?
We are an ISP and therefore sometimes required to send bulk mail, for which we are currently using perl bulk mail module script and there we specify the users in text file to send message, everytime this module try sending it get Mail Relaying denied as it doesnot supply user and passwd required for smtp auth in base64.
Therefore I wanted to disable smtp auth for an ip address using which smtp auth is not reqauired and mails should be openly relayed.
Why are all of the above entries commented out? Did you intend to disable (break) the tcp_intranet channel?
no it is not commented in config files.
+./imsimta refresh is no longer a valid comment, you need to use ./imsimta cnbuild;./imsimta restart+
as per sun mesaging server 6 admin guide it is given to be working. Alterntively I tried ./imsimta cnbuild;./imsimta restart.
Please provide the mail.log_current line that matches the attempted email delivery which was rejected.

Also please clarify if you want to disable the ability to perform SMTP auth or whether you want to allow email to be sent without requiring SMTP auth -- these are two completely different objectives.
No I do not want to disable SMTP auth for everyone.DEfault is it should be forced to all except from one ip. ie disable smtp auth only for an ip address.

External SMTP Auth

Hi folks.
My iPod is not happy. She (he?) can't send mail from outside. I have an IMAP account that I use on my LAN server for my domains. When I go out, I can't send mail.
Now, port 465 is apparently used for SSL SMTP, but that isn't open on the server. My router has SMTP Mail open.
What I want to do, I forget the name of. I think it's SMTP Auth, and using a port above what routers would normally close off. So I'd like to use port 3500 or something like that. How do I do that, while using Kerberos or MD5 for sending mail from outside?
Cheers

I'd confirm that your ISP is (or is not) blocking inbound port 25; if the server here is connected into the ISP via a residential-grade service tier, then port 25 and port 80 blocks in-bound are fairly common. That is, confirm whether the connectivity problems here are between the ISP and the server, or at the pub.
As for your own network perimeter, most consumer-grade routers are pretty weak, while those router-firewalls with VPN and port-forwarding aren't that much more expensive. And there are open-source firewalls around. And using a VPN into the firewall is a pretty good solution for many reasons.
Various organizations that offer wireless do block port 25 outbound and sometimes other specific outbound ports to reduce the spread of malware, or the network loading that can result from torrents. Few organizations block outbound VPNs or webmail (port 80 or port 443) connections.

SMTP AUTH and the SMTP MMP.

Messaging Server 6.0p1
We've run into a problem with the SMTP component of the MMP. Specifically with regards to SMTP authentication.
The messaging server is sending out AUTH=LOGIN and AUTH PLAIN LOGIN options to the client in the ESMTP negotiation even when the SMTP client is listed as INTERNAL in the mappings file.
Consider the 4 scenarios:
1. Connecting directly to the messaging server SMTP from outside of the Intranet.
external.hostname# telnet smtpserver.hostname 25
Trying 1.2.3.4...
Connected to smtpserver.hostname.
Escape character is '^]'.

As you can see, the messaging server responds with the AUTH PLAIN LOGIN and AUTH=LOGIN. The SMTP authentication is successful. This is the correct behavior.
2. Connecting to the MMP SMTP from outside of the Intranet.
external.hostname# telnet mmp.hostname 25
Trying 1.2.3.5...
Connected to mmp.hostname.
Escape character is '^]'.

Just as in example #1, the MMP responds with the AUTH PLAIN LOGIN and AUTH=LOGIN. Like example #1, the SMTP authentication is successful. This is the correct behavior.
3. Connecting directly to the messaging server SMTP from inside the Intranet.
internal.hostname# telnet smtpserver.hostname 25
Trying 1.2.3.4...
Connected to smtpserver.hostname.
Escape character is '^]'.

This time, because the client is on the intranet, the AUTH PLAIN LOGIN and AUTH=LOGIN ESMTP options are not presented to the client. The attempt to perform SMTP authentication fails. This appears to be the correct behavior, as the server didn't advertise as supporting SMTP authentication.
4. Connecting to the MMP SMTP from inside the Intranet.
internal.hostname# telnet mmp.hostname 25
Trying 1.2.3.5...
Connected to mmp.hostname.
Escape character is '^]'.

This time, even though the client is within the intranet, the AUTH PLAIN LOGIN and AUTH=LOGIN ESMTP options are presented to the client. Even though these options are presented to the client, the server refuses to honor authentication attempts. The attempt to perform SMTP authentication fails. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM!
The implecation is that SMTP clients within the intranet that honor the SMTP authentication ESMTP options presented by the server ALWAYS fail to authenticate.
Netscape 4.x clients, when they see the AUTH=LOGIN and AUTH PLAIN LOGIN options force the user to authenticate. Netscape 7.x at least has a checkbox that gives the user the option to ignore these options and attempt to send anyway. It's now impossible for all of the Netscape 4.x mail clients within the intranet to send mail.
The correct behavior is that the AUTH PLAIN LOGIN and AUTH=LOGIN options should NOT be presented to the intranet clients. I have made every attempt to ensure that our configuration is correct. I believe this is a bug with the Messaging server but I'm posting here in hopes that someone knows what specific changes I can make to the mappings or imta.cnf files that will prevent the Messaging server to present these options to clients through the MMP.
Netscape 7.x clients within the intranet that have been configured to ignore the AUTH smtp ESMTP options can send mail to both local and remote recipients.

Before even looking at your data. . .
We've run into a problem with the SMTP component of the MMP
There is EXACTLY ONE reason to use the SMTP componant of MMP: POP before SMTP
If you have ANY other need for smtp, you should use the entire MTA. That's what it's for.
Actually, it looks like your scenario 3 isn't connecting to the correct MTA at all. The banner should be the same as you got for the other cases. You're sure you didn't start sendmail up by accident?

SMTP Auth & Maildir

I have two seperate questions...
I found this quote here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106763
"Whenever Authenticated SMTP is enabled, your email server is effectively a "send only" server, because mail servers from other domains are most likely not configured to authenticate with your server. This means your local email clients can only receive email from other local clients. Authenticated SMTP also requires each user's email client software to authenticate before it sends mail through your server."
I know this documentation is very old (10.1.3), but I need to know if this still true in Server 10.4.7? I have a LOT of traveling sales people that need to use either mail.app or outlook, and they are not going to be happy if I tell them they have to use webmail. I was planning on switching to OS X Server, but I need to know about this first.
My second question is, what format does 10.4.7 server store its mail in? mbox? mdir? I have found conflicting answers online..
Thanks,
Brian

Actually, that excerpt does not make sense to me either.
When Authenticated SMTP is enabled, only clients with the correct username and password may relay mail through your server. Any other client or server will not be able to relay mail through your server. The only mail your server will accept without authentication is those that are meant for the local accounts on the server. SMTP-AUTH just prevents unauthorized relays but not delivery.
So your travelling reps should be able to use Mail.app to connect to your server and send mail to outside clients through your server. AND their clients should be able to send mail to your reps.

SMTP auth different from POP3 auth

I am using mac mail 2.1 and having following issue.
My current email provider will not allow me to use their smtp server because I am on a different internet provider.
I am allowed to use the smtp server of my isp but need to authenticate on it to use it.
What this means is that I have a unqiue login and password for my pop3 server and a different login and password for my smtp server.
When I setup the smtp authentication as follows:
[email protected] and then my password and attempt to send mail I get the following error:
the smtp server rejected your username or password.
The same username and password combo works fine on another mac using outlook express 5.06.
What could cause mac mail not to like the smtp auth I am using when it works fine on outlook express?

maybe you can simply have two email addresses pointing to your BlackBerry device.
