Error: posftix: warning: SASL authentication failure: No worthy mechs found
After configuring postfix relay server I found their was some issue with gmail server authentication, it will bounce the emails
Error : postfix/smtp[25857]: 59BF721177: SASL authentication failed; cannot authenticate to server smtp.gmail.com[74.125.25.108]: no mechanism available postfix/smtp[25861]: warning: SASL authentication failure: No worthy mechs found
Their must be two solid reasons behind this
1, SASL package is missing for plain module
yum install cyrus-sasl{,-plain}
2, Allow plaintext (which is fine when using STARTTLS): make the connection enrypted
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
Make Sure you enabled all the below options :
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_use_tls = yes smtp_tls_loglevel = 1 smtp_tls_security_level = encrypt smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = login
HowTo: Authenticated email relay server with Postfix
Setup Postfix as a email relay server which will authenticate with public email server for sending emails. If you want to use a Gmail as a Free SMTP server us, use this as in any of the redhat or ubuntu servers
For Ubuntu
apt-get install postfix mailutils libsasl2-2 ca-certificates libsasl2-modules
Replace the ceritficate file in the configuration
cat /etc/ssl/certs/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem | sudo tee -a /etc/postfix/cacert.pem
If you do not have postfix installed before, postfix configuration wizard will ask you some questions. Just select your server as Internet Site and for FQDN use something like mail.example.com , For Centos
yum install postfix email mailx cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-lib cyrus-sasl-plain
[root@server ~]# vi /etc/postfix/main.cf biff = no append_dot_mydomain = no readme_directory = no myhostname = smtpout.innovautelabs.intra mydomain = innovaturelabs.intra myorigin = $mydomain alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases mydestination = localhost.localdomain, , localhost mynetworks = 192.168.1.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128 mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + inet_interfaces = all relayhost = [smtp.gmail.com]:587 smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl-passwords smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt smtp_use_tls = yes smtp_tls_loglevel = 1 smtp_tls_security_level = encrypt smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = login
Now create a password file which should have a valid email and password; onece hashed the password file postfix can read the data in it after that, you can delete the plaintext passwd file. Alternately, if you’d feel better keeping the file around for whatever reason, you can run chmod 600 passwd and make it only readable by its owner, which should be root
vi /etc/postfix/sasl-passwords [smtp.gmail.com]:587 username@gmail.com:password
chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl-passwords
postmap /etc/postfix/sasl-passwords
Finally, reload postfix config for changes to take effect:
service postfix restart
Howto: Renewing Exim SSL certificate
Renewing exim SSL certificate without using Cpanel or exim scripts,first we have to create the certificate and replace the file with suitable permissions, follow the below steps to do.
1, Creating Self signed certificate files using Openssl.
root@server09 [~]# openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout /root/server.key -out /root/server.crt -days 365 -nodes Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key ......................++++++ .............................................++++++ writing new private key to '/root/server.key' ----- You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank For some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank. ----- Country Name (2 letter code) [GB]:IN State or Province Name (full name) [Berkshire]:Karnataka Locality Name (eg, city) [Newbury]:Banglore Organization Name (eg, company) [My Company Ltd]:Private Ltd Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:JWH Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:server.domain.com Email Address []:
2, Verify the existing location and filename and replace the files
root@server09 [~]# ll /etc/exim.key /etc/exim.crt lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2月 26 2010 /etc/exim.crt -> /var/cpanel/ssl/exim/myexim.crt lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2月 26 2010 /etc/exim.key -> /var/cpanel/ssl/exim/myexim.key mv /var/cpanel/ssl/exim/myexim.crt /var/cpanel/ssl/exim/myexim.crt_30_5_2013 mv /var/cpanel/ssl/exim/myexim.key /var/cpanel/ssl/exim/myexim.key_30_5_2013 mv /root/server.key /var/cpanel/ssl/exim/myexim.key mv /root/server.crt /var/cpanel/ssl/exim/myexim.crt chmod 660 /etc/exim.key /etc/exim.crt /var/cpanel/ssl/exim/myexim.key /var/cpanel/ssl/exim/myexim.crt chown mailnull.mail /etc/exim.key /etc/exim.crt /var/cpanel/ssl/exim/myexim.key /var/cpanel/ssl/exim/myexim.crt
3, Restart exim
root@server09 [~]# service exim restart
Error: Roundcube file db.inc.php and main.inc.php not found
In my cpanel server I was try tying to asscess email over Hord but I am getting error file db.inc.php and main.inc.php not found. I found some fixes to make it work again. It is because of file permission issue. I followed the below steps.
Login to server over ssh make sure that you are in root privileged user.
root@server [/usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/roundcube/config]# ll total 7 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 4096 Apr 9 23:18 ./ drwxrwxr-x 11 root wheel 4096 Sep 16 2009 ../ -rw-r—– 1 cpanelroundcube cpanelroundcube 2347 Apr 9 23:18 db.inc.php -rw-r–r– 1 root wheel 2304 Apr 9 23:18 db.inc.php.dist -rw-r–r– 1 root wheel 31 Sep 25 2005 .htaccess -rw-r—– 1 cpanelroundcube cpanelroundcube 18898 Apr 9 23:18 main.inc.php -rw-r–r– 1 root wheel 18912 Apr 9 23:18 main.inc.php.dist -rw-r–r– 1 root wheel 2392 Aug 7 2009 mimetypes.php
If file are present and you still see the error, then check file permission and ownership. Permission on db.inc.php and main.inc.php should be 640 and ownership should be cpanelroundcube.cpanelroundcube as mentioed above.
If you still face problem, Then try upgrading roundcube.
root@Server[~]#/usr/local/cpanel/bin/update-roundcube –force
Now everything works fine.
