AAC [MyACC] [POSTFIX] [SquirrelMail] Problem with configuring the mail system

[Haskys]

Hello,

When creating an account on MyACC receives the message:

An error occorred while sending email ([email protected])! Error:
SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting
More info in system/logs/error.log

Error.log:

[Thu, 01 Aug 2019 18:59:20 +0200] [createaccount.php] An error occorred while sending email: SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting. Error: Array

    [file] => /var/www/html/system/libs/pot/OTS_ServerInfo.php
    [line] => 61
)

Mail system:
Front: SquirrelMail
Back: postfix

By sending emails from SquirrelMail they are delivered to the recipient.

Configuration of config file by recommendations from:

AAC - Support in configuring the sending of e-mails confirming the account registration in MyACC

Hey, I am asking for support in configuring the sending of e-mails confirming the account registration in MyACC. For configuration, I have: // mail 'mail_enabled' => false, // is aac maker configured to send e-mails? 'mail_address' => '[email protected]', // server e-mail...

otland.net

Could someone help in this regard?

Haskys,

try setting smtp_enabled to false.

and smtp_auth to false.

 

[Haskys]

try setting smtp_enabled to false.

and smtp_auth to false.

Thank you for your response.
It worked because I have another message:

An error occorred while sending email ([email protected])! Error:
Could not instantiate mail function.

if($config['smtp_enabled'])

    $mailer->IsSMTP();
    $mailer->Host = $config['smtp_host'];
    $mailer->Port = (int)$config['smtp_port'];
    $mailer->SMTPAuth = $config['smtp_auth'];
    $mailer->Username = $config['smtp_user'];
    $mailer->Password = $config['smtp_pass'];
    $mailer->SMTPSecure = $config['smtp_secure']; // Here
}

Any ideas?

We managed to configure so that MyAcc would show that the message was sent.

These informations were send on email address [email protected].

However, during the postfix reconfiguration, myacc etc. a change was made, which meant that sending messages from Squirrel is not possible.

ERROR:
Message not sent. Server replied:
Requested action aborted: error in processing
451 4.3.0 <[email protected]>: Temporary lookup failure

So that's probably why I do not get messages from MyAcc.
Can you help in configuring the postfix itself?

Mailservers like Postfix and Dovecot are a pain in the ass to set up and to maintain.
There are always different errors on different servers even if there is technically not much of a difference. They always find something to complain about.
Since this is not a OT specific problem, I would suggest you to google the problem. Others have had it before as well. Not every solution will work for you, but eventually you will figure it out.

Different possibilities might be:
your resolv.conf makes problems. Try if resolving at all works using dig otland.net
your aliases of the webserver aren't set up correctly
check your transport maps

google is your friend
