SMTP Client Restriction
#1
I've been reading the many posts related to SMTP Authentication and I've never really seen a clear answer anywhere about this situation:

* End user has e-mail account setup in Windows Mail with POP/SMTP access to my server
* End user has SMTP Authentication turned on from previous hosting server
* Everything's moved to my EHCP server and now end user gets a prompt asking for SMTP Authentication information. Same settings as POP doesn't work.
* Turned off client authentication and e-mails send correctly (MAJOR SECURITY HOLE)
* Need authentication to work and open relay closed.

My tests:

* Telnet into EHCP server on port 25 and did command-line test with e-mail from anyone@anywhere.com and valid recipient on my server
* No errors, message went through successfully (MAJOR SECURITY HOLE - OPEN RELAY)

My config:
Here's the output of postfix/main.cf (removed my domain name and IP for security purposes):

# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version
# Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first
# line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default
# is /etc/mailname.
#myorigin = /etc/mailname
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
biff = no

<li> Can you type here your telnet session, so that i will do same test, on my server,
<li> One way to try: use latest version of, 0.29.09 (or preferably www.ehcp.net/ehcp_yeni.tgz , which is 0.29.10) click on options->fix main configuration, then, use in main.cf this one: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject_unauth_destination (this is different in your config, from what should be)
<li> I acknowledge that, email sending with smtp auth in ehcp ver 0.29.10 and before, is not enabled by default, and is not perfectly configured so that everything is smooth... I mean, still I could not find a safe, secure, easy way (of email installation) of doing email sending with smtp auth...
<li> So, you and I should think about this, and figure out... once a day, I remember that I did succeed that, as I described above, but I dont know if that will work for you too...
<li> The idea is: enable tls/ssl , enable smtp auth, then remove pop-before-smtp in main.cf... this is the idea
<li> This may help too: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/postfix.html
<li> I agree that, without smtp auth, this is open relay, and is not recomended.. and is not secure... open to spammers...
<li> Let me know if you can completely solve this, so that I will integrat this completely in ehcp..
<li> I will also try and include in ehcp if I can, if I have time..
