I would like some support in order to get my Postfix configuration working with my Zoho email account. What I am trying to do is to send a message from my contact form in http://www.g3eo.com/#!/page_Contacts to my Zoho email account. For that I configured Postfix in my ubuntu box in this way (based on http://emanuelesantanche.com/configuring-postfix-to-relay-email-through-zoho-mail/):
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu) biff = no
append_dot_mydomain = no readme_directory = no mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128 mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + inet_interfaces = loopback-only inet_protocols = all # TLS parameters smtp_tls_policy_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/tls_policy smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key smtpd_use_tls=yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache smtp_header_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/smtp_header_checks myhostname = xxxxxxxxxx alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases mydestination = xxxxxxxxxx, localhost.com, localhost relayhost = smtp.zoho.com:587 smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/password #smtp_sasl_security_options = smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/generic smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtp_always_send_ehlo = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,defer_unauth_destination
In my website contact form things seem to be working fine, you can test it by sending a message with the Firebug open (press F12) in the Network tab. After sending the email it appears this message "mail sent" in the response tab. However, that message does not reach my email address in my Zoho email account. After checking the /var/log/mail.log
it shows:
Jul 4 21:46:42 xxxxxxxxxx postfix/qmgr[9100]: D9B2E5E0292: from=, size=549, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Jul 4 21:46:45 xxxxxxxxxx postfix/smtp[27824]: D9B2E5E0292: to=, relay=smtp.zoho.com[165.254.168.48]:587, delay=114224, delays=114222/0.01/2.6/0, dsn=4.0.0, status=deferred (SASL authentication failed; server smtp.zoho.com[165.254.168.48] said: 535 Authentication Failed)
I understand that the authentication problem is because my message could get into the Zoho smtp server, so it was rejected, not sure if it is the case. I would appreciate if someone could help to understand what is going on here and how to fix it.
My contact form uses the following files: - http://www.g3eo.com/extras/js/forms.js
and http://www.g3eo.com/extras/bin/MailHandler.php (see below)
if($_POST['name']!='nope'){ $messageBody .= '<p>Visitor: ' . $_POST["name"] . '</p>' . "\n"; $messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n"; } if($_POST['email']!='nope'){ $messageBody .= '<p>Email Address: ' . $_POST['email'] . '</p>' . "\n"; $messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n"; }else{ $headers = ''; } if($_POST['state']!='nope'){ $messageBody .= '<p>State: ' . $_POST['state'] . '</p>' . "\n"; $messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n"; } if($_POST['phone']!='nope'){ $messageBody .= '<p>Phone Number: ' . $_POST['phone'] . '</p>' . "\n"; $messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n"; } if($_POST['fax']!='nope'){ $messageBody .= '<p>Fax Number: ' . $_POST['fax'] . '</p>' . "\n"; $messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n"; } if($_POST['message']!='nope'){ $messageBody .= '<p>Message: ' . $_POST['message'] . '</p>' . "\n"; } if($_POST["stripHTML"] == 'true'){ $messageBody = strip_tags($messageBody); } try{ if(!mail($owner_email, $subject, $messageBody, $headers)){ throw new Exception('mail failed'); }else{ echo 'mail sent'; } }catch(Exception $e){ echo $e->getMessage() ."\n"; }
EDIT#1:
after changing /etc/postfix/password
from smtp.zoho.com:587
to [smtp.zoho.com]
I receiced in /var/log/mail.log
:
