Okay, I have a problem with getting postfix to work.
The setup is RHEL v5.7 and postfix version is 2.9.1.
The hostname is set as localmail.mydomain.com
Domainname is blank.
All settings in the main.cf file are defaults.
Postfix service starts with no problems.
When I try to access pop3 through telnet,I keep getting an error "Bad Login"
I tried various combinations of usernames, for example:
- user test
- user test@localhost
- user test@localmail
- user test@localmail.mydomain.com
They all ask for password, then fail. This is the error I get in the log files:
Dec 4 18:39:23 localmail ipop3d[17385]: Login failure user=test@localmail host=localhost [127.0.0.1]
Dec 4 18:40:15 localmail ipop3d[17385]: Login failure user=test@localmail.mydomain.com host=localhost [127.0.0.1]
Dec 4 18:40:29 localmail ipop3d[17385]: Login failure user=test@localhost host=localhost [127.0.0.1]
Dec 4 18:40:37 localmail ipop3d[17385]: Logout user=test@localhost host=localhost [127.0.0.1]
What am I missing or doing wrong?
Thanks.
