telnet postfix (localhost) no output, but postfix is runnig

so postfix is running as expected

telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.


but telnet hangs up here : escape char is…

Why don’t you simply use YaST to set up postfix?

That’s because you went to the advanced mode. You don’t need that -
unless you really do. A certificate, perhaps.

I have seen a manual for this. But I can’t locate it now. :frowning:

I’ve everything working (and as I’ve created virtual users and domains ), I don’t know if I want to edit this mail server thorugh yast (e.g I’ve not seen option for multiple users …) but my only question is password encryption and many password for different users, i.e.

/etc/postfix/mysql_mailbox.cf

looks like that

 user=mail 
password=*mailPASSWORD* 
dbname=maildb 
table=users 
select_field=maildir 
where_field=id 
hosts=127.0.0.1 
additional_conditions = and enabled = 1

but I want multiple users so there’d be different values for different users in table : users ->field : pass but in that file /mailbox.cf there’s only one.

and that passwd encryption … would it be OK to do it like that

INSERT INTO users (pass) VALUES (AES_ENCRYPT('text',SHA2('password',512)));

pretty clear but what about that value text ?

Change in /etc/sysconfig/mail:

MAIL_CREATE_CONFIG=“no”

> (e.g

Of course you can use many users, unless I misunderstood your question.
But I’m not familiar with using postfix with mysql, that means a large
system.

Maybe you should be asking instead in the postfix mail list. Your
questions are too specific.
