[stunnel-users] SMTP Authentication failed

Mon Apr 30 11:44:11 CEST 2018

Hi List,

I have just joined the stunnel community.

I am in the process of migrating our mailserver's public facing ports to
stunnel for PCI compliance reasons.

So far i have managed to get working:

- imap (143/tcp) with starttls
- imaps (993/tcp)
- pop3 (110/tcp) with starttls
- pop3s (995/tcp)

My trouble is with smtp(25/tcp,587/tcp) with starttls.

I have now tried a couple different mail clients and everyone of them tells
me that the server does not support the authentication protocols.

I have installed stunnel 5.44. Tee relevant parts in my config:

[mail2-imap]
protocol = imap
accept = 143
connect = <mail-fqdn>:143

[mail2-imaps]
accept = 993
connect = <mail-fqdn>:143

[mail2-pop3]
protocol = pop3
accept = 110
connect = <mail-fqdn>:110

[mail2-pop3s]
accept = 995
connect = <mail-fqdn>:110

[mail2-smtp]
protocol = smtp
accept = 25
connect = <mail-fqdn>:25

[mail2-smtps]
accept = 465
connect = <mail-fqdn>:465

[mail2-smtps-submission]
debug = 7
protocol = smtp
accept = 587
connect = <mail-fqdn>:587

In the logfile I have the following entries upon connecting

This is the error I am getting from K9-Mail

The google mail app just tells me:

Alpine (linux commandline smtp client)

Any advise from the gurus?

Kind regards
Ian
