Describe your issue
Email server stopped validating my admin credentials for checking email. So I checked the logs and found Postfix error messages and need some interpretation on what they mean. I have checked other non admin credentials for login into email and they work fine without any error messages.
It is one specific email address… the one tied to Yunohost first admin account. Other admin accounts added after the first one emails work fine and the system connects, accesses mail, sends mail, ect. without any errors. I am so confused as to why this is happening all of a sudden and why only the one email address is affected?
Hi,
Your postfix log seems to be related to the diagnosis. It is the yunohost Ip when the diagnosis run and test your server, nothing to do with your problem.
I don’t understand, how do you check your emails? With a client like roundcube/snappymail?
you could regen-conf postfix/dovecot , perharps it helps
I use an internal deployment of Afterlogic Webmail Lite. It has worked for me and has been stable thus far. In a year this has been the only issue. It authenticates all other accounts except the main account now. I just installed snappy to test connectivity with said account and got in. But, When I try to use the webmail lite it tells me wrong username or password and to contact system admin. All other account authenticate and send mail fine. So, if it is a permissions issue surrounding that admin account, how would i fix that?
I will leave snappy installed since it is a supported mail client. But, the project is not abandoned and it still is getting active updates. Maybe they have not published on Git those revisions. The following screenshot comes from their website and my version matches this. I will treat it as an active personal hobby and use a supported client on YNH for simplicity and stability. I just like the customization options of that client as I have used it else where for many years without any major setbacks. Thank you for the information and best practice advice
One thing that bothers me and this is why I was using another mail client is the flag that you get everytime you go to load snappymail. It always makes me reload the page to get to my mailbox
Figured it out. Wasn’t aware Snappymail had it’s own security policies. The issue is resolved and I have a dedicated, functioning webmail again. Thank you to everyone who donated thier time to help me figure things out and get me on the right track
