cant login to Dovecot to send mail from OX

[bilal_jan]

hello everyone i got a virtual machine (virtual appliance) that has OX installed on it. In addition to Open-Xchange, also installed is Dovecot.
the problem i am facing is when i try to send an email i am getting following error

Error: wrong or Missing login data to access server: Error Message from server: Failed to connect (MSG-101 15127-379)

i am sure the problem is due to fact that logged in user wasnt not able to log onto Dovecot.
i do created system user for loggin onto Dovecot and added that user to OX as well but the problem is still present.
Can anyonene please tell me how can i fix it. I have all this setup on local machine.

Hi,

please provide OX log files, maybe dovecot logs something, too.

Hi,

thats not the complete stack trace. But from what i can see, OX is unable to connect to the SMTP server. Dovecot handles IMAP but SMTP needs to be handled by mail servers like Postfix or Qmail. Please post the complete stack trace for more information.

hay Martin Braun can you please suggest any solution. i am in very need of it. thanks

[bilal_jan]

hay Martin Braun can you please suggest any solution. i really in need of it

[Martin Heiland]

Hi,

what --smtpserver parameter have you given when creating the user? Is a SMTP server listening on that host? From the stacktrace (last third) you can see that OX is unable to connect to the SMTP server.

Greetings

[bilal_jan]

thnx Martin for your reply.
i removed sendmail from my system and installed postfix with following credentials in /etc/postfix/main.cf

inet_interfaces = localhost
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain
home_mailbox = Maildir/
mail_spool_directory = /var/mail

i am now not getting the error which i was getting previously while sending mail but now when i send an email ,i got the message that email was sent but it wasnt transferred to the concerned user inbox
i added a system user with following credentials
Create a local user (required for Dovecot):

$ adduser -m -s /bin/false new-user
$ passwd new-user

and Created the Open-Xchange user:

$ /opt/open-xchange/sbin/createuser -c 1 -A oxadmin -P oxpassword -u new-user -d "Test User" -g Test -s User -p oxpassword -e testuser@example.com --imaplogin new-user --imapserver 127.0.0.1 --smtpserver 127.0.0.1

i have dovecot as IMAP and postfix as SMTP

[Martin Heiland]

Hi,

there is plenty of information on the web how to configure Postfix to deliver mails to Dovecot (just an example: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix). As far as i can see you've managed to configure the user correctly, additional stuff is not related to OX.

Greetings

[bilal_jan]

Martin Braun

i tried ur links as well as other links but ox is still not sending email. rest all modules are up and running.
are u sure its postfix issue??? or is it something else

[bilal_jan]

hay Martin sorry to disturb you again.
i have installed POSTFIX as an MTA for OX. now when i sent a mail from user named "new-user" to himself from command line that mail is shown by OX in inbox of user "new-user".
but i cant send mail from OX that is when i logged in as "new-user" to OX and try to sent mail to "new-user" no mail is been delivered.
can you please suggest where i am lagging.
