Hi,
I just installed Mail-in-a-box in a Debian 9 vps, and it’s working perfectly.
i wanted to access it through my Neomutt client on my home computer, so I wrote the following muttrc:
set from = “'user’@‘my_domain’”
set realname = “‘my_name’”
set imap_user = “'user’@‘my_domain’”
set imap_pass = “‘my_password’”
set edit_headers = yes
set smtp_url ="'user’@‘my_domain’:587/"
set smtp_pass = “‘my_password’”
set ssl_starttls = yes
set spoolfile=“imaps://’_my_domain’:’_my_password’’@‘my_hostname’/”
set folder=“imaps://‘my_hostname’/”
set tmpdir = “/tmp”
set record = “Sent”
set mbox = “+mbox”
set postponed = “Drafts”
set ssl_starttls=yes
set ssl_force_tls=yes
unset imap_passive
set imap_check_subscribed
set mail_check=60
set timeout=10
set header_cache=~/.hcache
set wait_key = no
set mbox_type = Maildir
set timeout = 3
set delete
unset confirmappend
set quit
set editor=‘tilde’
When I reentered neomutt I had access to my mail-in-a-box account.
When I tried to send a mail through it, it got to
Authenticating PLAIN
and then served the
SASL authentication failed message.
I’m very new to configuring a mail server, so I’m unsure on how to progress.
I imagine that dovecot (or Postfix, for all that I know), don’t recognize the mail client and stop the process, but I have no idea on how to proceed and I didn’t find anything on google that someone as ignorant as me could use.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
