Unable to connect to mail server

New install of new domain. Have mail server running as VM on DomainController and installed as Domain Slave. Trying to connect with mail client and getting errors saying the password is wrong (which it is not). Also see connection errors in mail.info.

Not sure where to look. Any help?

Due to absence of detailed errror descriptions, just a shot in the dark:

You may want to check if univention-sasl is installed.

cheers,
Dirk

I realized afterward that I forgot to include that…but there is some mention of SASL. I assumed everything would have been installed when I selected the mail server so I will install that. If it still gives me problems I will repost with more info.

Thanks!

Made sure that univention-sasl was installed. Looks like it may have been already but possibly not configured or something. Here are 3 lines from my mail log:Jan 25 21:17:35 kure amavis[3147]: (03147-04) Passed, <nagios@xxx.local> -> <james@xxx.local>, quarantine qgKfLYU1cfME, Message-ID: <20150125175904.44C046C22A6@maui.xxx.local>, Hits: 2.531 Jan 25 21:17:35 kure postfix/smtp[14454]: AD0D9404E1: to=<james@xxx.local>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=0.6, delays=0.15/0.01/0/0.44, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 from MTA(smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 3C7BF4050D) Jan 25 21:17:35 kure postfix/qmgr[8972]: AD0D9404E1: removed

My Domain Controller (and first installed machine) is “Maui”. This is a bare-metal install of UCS 4.0. All computers and users were created there for the domain. My mail server is “Kure”. This is a KVM-based VM running on the “Maui” server. It is a Domain-Slave UCS 4.0 installation. I have configured the MX record to point to ‘kure.xxx.local’. As I said, all users are created on the domain on “Maui” and I know they exist…but for some reason 'Kure" does not know that. That would explain why I am unable to connect my mail client to kure as ‘james’.

Ideas?

Yes, by default the required sasl package is installed and configured if the mail server is installed.

The lines from the mail.log look good. Maybe you could post more from the log file. For example if the mail was delivered to the IMAP server.

But your main problem is that you can’t login as user james@xxx.local to the IMAP server, isn’t it? Do you use the email address as login user name?

I think the following log files could help to investigate this issue: /var/log/auth.log and /var/log/univention/listener.log

And the output of the command: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_univention_replication

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_univention_replication outputs a response of “OK”.

Zarafa is installed so I am trying to add email account on my client as both “Exchange” and regular email. I log into the domain as “james” and for the username on email I have tried both ‘james’ and 'james@xxx.local

The auth.log contains the following about every 2 minutes. Nothing else of interest.Jan 30 07:02:01 maui CRON[930]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0) Jan 30 07:02:01 maui CRON[931]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0) Jan 30 07:02:06 maui CRON[930]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root Jan 30 07:02:11 maui CRON[931]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root Jan 30 07:02:29 maui nscd: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server...

As a follow up, I can include the bulk of the mail.info file…is there a way to attach it?

Yes, you can use the “Upload attachment” tab or you can use upload.univention.de/. But if you use Zarafa the output wouldn’t help us to solve the issue. So, it is strange because it should work out of the box.

As far as I understand, the problem is that you can’t login in the Zarafa web interface or via Outlook, right?

Can you send the output of ‘univention-ldapsearch uid=james’?

Maybe that’s the cause. Do you know where the mail domain “none” comes from? Did you rename the mail domain after creating the users? Does it also happen with new users?


Thanks for the update. I actually CAN log into the Zarafa web interface. I CANNOT log in from Outlook (or any other mail client).

I have no idea where the ‘none’ came from. I did not change anything after install. The mail domain was created first and then the users.

Hi NCDiveBum,

it reads a bit like you are trying to connect to Zarafa using the IMAP protocol. By default this is disabled for all accounts and can either be enabled on a per user base (although Univention currently has no ui for it) or for for all users.

But instead of connection Outlook via IMAP you should install the Zarafa windows client. The needed steps to install and configure Outlook with the client can be read on the user manual: doc.zarafa.com/trunk/User_Manual … re_outlook

You can find the latest version of ther client here:
download.zarafa.com/community/fi … 0/windows/

OK, gave up on Zarafa since I am not running Windows. Besides, I don’t think I should need a client to use Outlook…Outlook IS a client.

Switched back to straight Postfix/Cyrus. Making progress (I think) as the error has now changed. Now the only error I see is:

Unable to locate maildrop: Mailbox does not exist

Yes, the user exists, has kure.xxx.local set as primary mail server and the user has access perms to everything it should. I even checked for the existence of the mail folder in /var and its there (albeit buried several layers down).

Any clues?

It is really strange that it doesn’t work out-of-the-box.

Can you check on every server if the join scripts are executed: univention-run-join-scripts or UMC (web based management console) → Domain → Domain join → “Execute all pending join scripts”.

So if I understand it correctly, the IMAP login fails. But the mail box exists below /var/spool/cyrus/mail/domain/. I think you have already checked if the imapd process is up and running. The saslauthd must also be started, for example: root@master401:~# ps auwfx | grep imapd cyrus 18904 0.0 0.4 56728 5104 ? Ss 00:04 0:00 /usr/sbin/cyrmaster -M /etc/imapd/cyrus.conf -C /etc/imapd/imapd.conf -d cyrus 18911 0.0 0.3 85732 3788 ?

S 00:04 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a pam -c -r -m /var/run/saslauthd -n 5 root 18803 0.0 0.0 48364 536 ? S 00:04 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a pam -c -r -m /var/run/saslauthd -n 5 root 18804 0.0 0.0 48364 536 ? S 00:04 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a pam -c -r -m /var/run/saslauthd -n 5 root 18805 0.0 0.6 60564 6936 ? S 00:04 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a pam -c -r -m /var/run/saslauthd -n 5 root@master401:~#

Can you try a login via cyradm, for example: root@master401:~# cyradm -u gohmann@deadlock40.intranet localhost Password: localhost> lm INBOX (\HasChildren) INBOX/Spam (\HasNoChildren) INBOX/Ham (\HasNoChildren) localhost>

Please restart the saslauthd and the IMAP server before trying to login via cyradmin: /etc/init.d/saslauthd restart; /etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd restart
If you login via cyradm, you should see an output like the following in /var/log/auth.log: Jan 15 00:11:25 master401 saslauthd[21263]: pam_unix(imap:auth): check pass; user unknown Jan 15 00:11:25 master401 saslauthd[21263]: pam_unix(imap:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= Jan 15 00:11:25 master401 PAM-univentionmailcyrus[21263]: continuing as user stefan Jan 15 00:11:25 master401 PAM-runasroot[21263]: continuing as normal user

Please also check the messages in /var/log/mail.log.

If it doesn’t help, please send us an support info archive of the system and we will have a closer look: sdb.univention.de/1182

Just getting back to this after a lot of illness in our house :slight_smile:

You are right that its strange it doesn’t work out of the box. I did a bit more digging and everything works as expected. All join scripts are executed, impad and sasl are both running, and I can login via the command line with cyradm.

Now the interesting part. When I login with cyradm and use the “lm” command, I do NOT get INBOX returned. This is the output:

localhost> lm
shared/james (\HasNoChildren)

So I guess there is in fact NO inbox for my user? Why would that happen and how do I fix it?

Again, my DC is the machine ‘MAUI’ and the mail server is ‘KURE’ which is a domain slave. When I installed the mail server on KURE shouldnt it have created the inboxes?

Do you use the email address as login?

root@master421:~# cyradm -u stefan localhost Password: localhost> lm localhost> root@master421:~# cyradm -u gohmann@deadlock42.intranet localhost Password: localhost> lm INBOX (\HasChildren) INBOX/Spam (\HasNoChildren) INBOX/Ham (\HasNoChildren) localhost>

Otherwise please post /etc/imapd/imapd.conf and the result of find /var/spool/cyrus/mail/. You can try to re-create the mail folders with the following command univention-directory-listener-ctrl resync cyrus.
Hope it helps.

I tried logging in as both “james” and “james@xxx.local” and I get the same inbox result each time.

I did the “univention-directory-listener-ctrl resync cyrus” and got the following result:
waiting for listener modules to finish
waiting for listener modules to finish
waiting for listener modules to finish
waiting for listener modules to finish
waiting for listener modules to finish
waiting for listener modules to finish
listener shutdown done

The resync seems to have done the trick! Thank you so much…hard to believe it was something so simple that resolved it.
