SMTP does not start on port 587
I just activated IMAP and SMTP on an old G5 Server running the latest version of Leopard.
Everything, but for one thing, runs fine. IMAP works correctly from both the local network and any distant network I could try it. SMTP runs fine on the local network but only on port 25. Nothing is listening on port 587, or 465. Hence, SMTP does not work from a distant network.
The firewall is off, but even from the localhost, or any machine for that matter, telneting to port 587 does not get an answer :
telnet 127.0.0.1 587
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
I did activate ssl for smtp in the Advance>Security tab. It uses the same selfsigned certificate as IMAP, which works fine. I can also tunnel in from a distant machine and SMTP will work.
I tried to uncomment the following four lines in master.cf
#smtps inet n - n - - smtpd
# -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes
# -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
# -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
but I only lost connection on port 25 and got nothing on port 587. This feels good, but I have no idea where to go from here.
Any one has any suggestion ?
