Objet: Re: [SOGo] Sogo in a unpriviledged LXC container? 

Hello PmGS, 

I use SOGo in an unpriviledged LXC container with these mail settings: 

SOGoMailingMechanism = "smtp"; 
SOGoSMTPServer = "smtps://smtp.mydomain"; # My SMTP server listens on port 465 
in addition to 587 
SOGoSMTPAuthenticationType = PLAIN; 

SOGo passes the logged in user's name and password to the SMTP server. If your 
SMTP server expects mail addresses instead of login names, you need to set 
SOGoForceExternalLoginWithEmail to YES. 

I do not know the SOGoSMTPUser and SOGoSMTPPassword settings. As far as I can 
see, SOGo always uses the logged in user's credentials to send mails from the 
web interface. I use the following settings for notifications and reminders 
though: 

SOGoSMTPMasterUserEnabled = YES; 
SOGoSMTPMasterUserUsername = "sogo"; 
SOGoSMTPMasterUserPassword = "my_secret"; 

Check your SMTP server's logs for error messages. I do not use Postfix, but my 
mailer logs the name that SOGo passes to the mailer for authentication. 
Example: 

2025-08-19 11:54:17 [...] <= my_email@mydomain [...] A=PLAIN:my_login 

Kind regards, 
Andreas 




Hello all,

I insalled Sogo [...] in the same unpriviledged LXC container. [...]
Doing this I'am unable to send email from Sogo, I get "Athentification
failure" but I can from Roundcude.

The smtp server conf in my sogo.conf are :
SOGoMailingMechanism = smtp;
SOGoSMTPServer =
"smtp://127.0.0.1:587/tls=YES&tlsVerifyMode=allowInsecureLocalhost";
SOGoForceExternalLoginWithEmail = NO;
SOGoSMTPAuthenticationType = "PLAIN";
//SOGoSMTPUser = "%u";
SOGoSMTPUser = "my_email@mydomain";
//SOGoSMTPPassword = "%p";
SOGoSMTPPassword = "my_pwd";

[...] Should I conclude that Sogo does not work in a (unpriviledged*) LXC?
