Re: [RoundCube Users] Outbound email fails via smtp

Well, no dice, I reinstalled, downloaded multiple times, and I do not have a helo line anywhere, just my SMTP_CONN line... so I have no idea what I'm missing in my files. The irony being I got it to work on a Linux Shared hosting environment, but not on our personal servers with rather aggressive spam protection -- and that server's a dedicated in house web server, with the other mail server at a separate IP, so I'm sure you're onto something, but nothings working for me.

I didn't install via CVS, I just downloaded the tar.gz from the RoundCube site.

Wow, I don't have that line at all -- I have:
    $SMTP_CONN = new Net_SMTP($CONFIG['smtp_server'], $smtp_port,
'localhost);

I take it that my CVS version is not current then, and should do a
patch -- changing that to my web address did not work for me.

If you are interested this is what I found out and how I fixed
our install, it's now working perfectly!

The problem was that RoundCube was doing the EHLO to our mail
server and claiming to be localhost (which it's not) instead of
the actual hostname (roundcube.whatever.com). Our mail server saw
this as a SPAM attempt in which the spammer was claiming to be
localhost which is what they do many times.

To fix this, I did some digging in the code and found a file
eventually named rcube_smtp.inc which is in the program/include
directory.

I found this line:
$helo_host = !empty($_SERVER['server_name']) ?
$_SERVER['server_name'] : 'localhost';

and changed it to:
$helo_host = !empty($_SERVER['server_name']) ?
$_SERVER['server_name'] : 'roundcube.mydomain.com';

Where roundcube.mydomain.com is the full hostname of the server
running the RoundCube code.

Hope this helps!

    I've attempted to program all settings into our server for
    outbound email usage, but to no avail. Currently we're a
    Cyrus OS X server, with smtp, password authorization required
    for outbound sending of messages. Now, I get the %u/p parts,
    and I have it set to the proper smtp address... should I not
    just be using 'LOGIN' as the password protocal? I've
    essentially tried all, and none seem to work, I'm wondering
    if there's a different outbound preference I should put in
    there that I'm not seeing? Thanks all!

    p.s. -- I second the archival request.
