Kopano4UCS - Enable authenticated SMTP for a single host on LAN

Apps & App Center
#1

I have a need for a single host on my LAN to be able to authenticate & send outgoing mail via Kopano4UCS. In testing via telnet I realised that authentication is not enabled:-

AUTH LOGIN
503 5.5.1 Error: authentication not enabled

So my question is what would be the optimum way to allow preferably authenticated access for a single host within my lan to send mail, or failing that, allow a single host to relay outgoing mail without auth. Having looked into the postfix config files on Kopano4UCS systems I’ve realised that there’s a lot of automation going on with the Univention Config Registry values being written to config and that charging ahead with manual editing of config files is probably a bad idea for a non-expert like myself. Hence the question here. Hoping someone might be able to advise.

put the ip to the allowed mynetworks ucs entry:

restart postfix afterwards

Thanks so much for your response Christian. I followed your advice but authentication still doesn’t seem to be enabled.

My UCR variable is:-

root@kopano:~# ucr get mail/postfix/mynetworks
127.0.0.0/8 10.10.10.0/24

If I test with telnet from a lan (10.10.10.0/24) connected host, I still get:-

AUTH LOGIN
503 5.5.1 Error: authentication not enabled

I’m probably missing something simple here. I did restart postfix after setting the UCR variable & even rebooted to be sure. Any ideas?

It’s ok. I can see what’s happening now. The UCS variable has indeed taken effect to allow unauthenticated relay from my lan subnet.

Thanks so much for your assistance Christian. Very much appreciated.

There is no authentication on port 25 only on port 587 (for that you don’t need the ucr get mail/postfix/mynetworks settings on 587
