Hello,

I have built my own mailserver using Postfix, Dovecot and Saslauthd. SMTP connections are encrypted via STARTTLS with normal, non-encrypted passwords. Every mail client I've set up works with it, but Sabnzbd refuses to connect properly. When I test my mail server settings, Sabnzbd says:

Code: Select all

Email Test Result = Failed to authenticate to mail server

My mail log for my server looks like this:

Code: Select all

Is Sabnzbd trying to encrypt the password? If yes, how do I stop that from happening? Is there a hidden setting somewhere that I need to change?

We don't have the resources to test the email module with all mail servers.
It works with most ISP servers, gmail.com and live.com.
Yes, I know it has shortcomings, but solving those is a lot work and doesn't contribute much for most users.
I realize this is not a satisfactory answer, but those are the realities of any understaffed open source project.
It will probably only be solved if we find a better ready-made email module in another open source project.

postconf -a

if it shows dovecot, then follow this link here http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL

but how to define port to use from sabnzbd ?, i dont have AUTH on port 25 any longer, but sasl works on SMTPS and SUBMISSION port

hope this will be possible to get working in my qnap sabnzbd, thanks for perfect nntp downloader
