[bug] Syntax error in Postfix configuration

Hello,

when UTM is configured to use an external SMTP-server with encryption and authentication (Management -> Notification -> Advanced) enabled, there might be a problem with the generated Postfix configuration:

If the chosen SMTP-Server is a DNS-Host, [FONT="Lucida Console"]/etc/postfix/main.cf[/FONT] contains the following line (which is correct):

relayhost = [dns.of.mail.server]:587

And [FONT="Lucida Console"]/etc/postfix/clientauth[/FONT] contains its entry in the following form:

dns.of.mail.server     username[:P]assword

But this is not correct. According to [1], the syntax has to be

[dns.of.mail.server]    username[:P]assword

In my case, changing this line, running postmap on [FONT="Lucida Console"]/etc/postfix/clientauth[/FONT] and reloading Postfix did solve the issue not being able to send/get notification mails.

The permissions of [FONT="Lucida Console"]/etc/postfix/clientauth[/FONT] generated by UTM are 644. 600 should be sufficient.

I'm running UTM v9.209-8.

Regards,
Gregor

If you have a paid license, you'll want to open up a support case, so you can inform Sophos about the issue (this is a user to user forum). If this is a free home license, your only way of notifying Sophos would be to try this on the 9.3 beta and if the issue persists, report in the beta forum. https://www.astaro.org/beta-versions/utm-9-3-beta/. The later is the best way to get the bug "known" and fixed, as in the beta forum developers monitor the threads directly.
