“SOGoForceExternalLoginWithEmail parameter might be of interest. What is not clear to me from the documentation is whether, apart from using the primary email address of the user, it will also use the user's password to authenticate.”
Yes I will use the email instead of the uid but with the user password still. -- Quentin Hivert || Alinto || R&D Lead Developer 19 Quai Perrache 69002 Lyon www.alinto.com <http://www.alinto.com> From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Odhiambo Washington Sent: mardi 13 mai 2025 18:42 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [SOGo] External SMTP with user auth Hi, If your SMTP server is external and requires authentication, then see: https://www.sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGoInstallationGuide.html#_smtp_server_configuration SOGoForceExternalLoginWithEmail parameter might be of interest. What is not clear to me from the documentation is whether, apart from using the primary email address of the user, it will also use the user's password to authenticate. But you can use a master user as the documentation says: ``` If your mail server requires use of SMTP AUTH, you can use the following parameters in the configuration file : SOGoSMTPMasterUserEnabled = YES; SOGoSMTPMasterUserUsername = "foo"; SOGoSMTPMasterUserPassword = "bar"; ``` On Tue, May 13, 2025 at 6:52 PM Pfennig <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Hi! I am not using postfix, but planned to communicate directly with my external (hosted) mail server via SMTP. The credentials are the same everywhere and seem to be working, since the IMAP is working and I can see my emails. But maybe I am misunderstanding something. No mails can be send in general, also no notification with the SMTPMasterUser... The SMTP is tested and works with PLAIN auth with the credentials, that I also use for login.
