Emails are not being delivered from the App Center server
Errors may include:
If Postfix is configured to use TLS but there is no root CAcert.pem specifying a Certificate Authority.
Note: This tutorial will not outline how to configure the postfix server.
1. Verify that the following lines are in the /etc/postfix/main.cf file:
relayhost = [thesmptserver.com]:587
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/cacert.pem
smtp_use_tls = may
The above lines configure Postfix to relay mail through yoursmptserver.com on a specific port, telling it to authenticate and where to find the username and password. The last three lines specify the authentication types supported, where the certificate-authority-file is and that it should use TLS.
2. Define Username and Password:
a. Populate the sasl_passwd file. Create the file /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd with the following contents:
[thesmptserver.yourdomain.com]:587 [email protected]:password
3. This file should have restrictive permissions and then needs to be translated into a .db that Postfix will read.
sudo chmod 400 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
sudo postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
4. Next add the attached cacert.pem bundle to the /etc/postfix directory. If an in-house CA is being used, add that CA's chain to this file.
5. Restart postfix by running the following command:
sudo /etc/init.d/postfix reload
