Hi all,
I am going through the process of setting up a home mail server for learning reasons and I have got stuck.
I have been following the guide from here.
I am at the stage where I can telnet smtp on the mail server and send a message that way and also send a email using postfixadmin and this successfully reaches my other account. I at the stage where I would like to connect to the mail server using Thunderbird but I am unable to.
I am able to telnet dovecot but when I try and login I get a no authentication failed message.
What should this login be? I have I account which I created when setting up postfixadmin. Is this not the email and password I should use?
I also get this message when I try and add a mailbox using postfixadmin:
Invalid domain name selected, or you tried to select a domain you are not an admin for
Any more info let me know.
