I set up Postfix+Courier+Roundcube on Ubuntu 12.04, but when I try to send an email with Roundcube, I receive the following error:

/var/log/mail.log :

Dec 30 20:54:35 server postfix/smtpd[31465]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1]

Any ideas? I feel like I've reached a dead end here.

  • Kind of odd it accepted an anonymous connection when you have this: smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous. IMHO, in smtpd_sender_restrictions, put permit_mynetworks first..

  • Thanks for the response. I tried disabling the nonanonymous line, and I also moved permit_mynetworks at the front of the smtpd_sender_restrictions line. Neither seemed to make any difference. I'm starting to think it might be a DNS/Apache issue.

  • What is etc... doing in your log message? Did you edit out things from the log? This may not be helpful... Dec 30, 2013 at 20:10
  • I cut out the name of the cipher for the sake of brevity. But it's back now, if you want to have a look.

  • The issue is your smtpd_client_restrictions = reject_rbl_client sbl.spamhaus.org, reject_rbl_client blackholes.easynet.nl does not have a permit, meaning there is an implicit reject at the end of that list

You defined smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous ( this is also the default). In your roundcube config the line

$rcmail_config['smtp_server'] = 'ssl://127.0.0.1';

defines to use ssl. For anonymous ssl connections are rejected you have to provide an username and password for the connection. But you have defined none:

// SMTP username (if required) if you use %u as the. username Roundcube
// will use the current username for login
$rcmail_config['smtp_user'] = '';

// SMTP password (if required) if you use %p as the password Roundcube
// will use the current user's password for login
$rcmail_config['smtp_pass'] = '';
