On 2014-02-08 I started not getting mails any longer. I have stopped a server before that I thought did not do any mailing functionality.
Symptoms
cat /var/log/mail.err
delivers
[...] Feb 8 10:58:00 euve31070 postfix/smtpd[4110]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms Feb 8 10:58:00 euve31070 postfix/smtpd[4108]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms Feb 8 10:58:35 euve31070 postfix/smtpd[4119]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms Feb 8 10:59:36 euve31070 postfix/smtpd[4120]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms Feb 8 11:00:49 euve31070 postfix/smtpd[4123]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms
I suspect for every incoming mail there is a line.
I cannot send mail via roundcube, it says
SMTP Error (-1): Connection to server failed.
Trying to send mails via thunderbird I get
Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server smtp.staerk.de timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator.
telnet smtp.staerk.de 587 is possible however.
It did work on friday. Is a reboot the culprit?
uptime 21:03:02 up 25 days, 5:16, 4 users, load average: 0.13, 0.07, 0.01
root@euve31070:/etc/postfix# telnet localhost 25 Trying ::1... Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. EHLO mail.staerk.de Connection closed by foreign host.
And in /var/log/mail.log there is at this time
Feb 9 07:51:34 euve31070 postfix/smtpd[12800]: connect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] Feb 9 07:51:34 euve31070 postfix/smtpd[12800]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: Connection refused Feb 9 07:51:34 euve31070 postfix/smtpd[12800]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms
Added
smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname
to main.cf, restarted postfix
Did not help. Rebooted, then it worked.
