Cannot connect using ssl (iphone email error)

Help
41

yeah totally makes sense… not sure why smtps says closed there … should be open…

42

ok we are making progress…
i get the confirm cert message from the iphone now
but it still says it cannot connect with ssl after that

43

i can’t figure out what’s going on with smtps (port 465) being closed…
i used firewallD to allow the service, should i try and specify the port too?

edit: also why do i get the message to allow the cert (like a self signed cert)

44

$sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=465/tcp

adding the port did not work either
still showing closed with nmap

Hi @ccheath

checking your domain your port 993 has the wrong certificate - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=mail.eyethrees.net#connections

You have two certificates - one old without mail.eyethrees.net, one new with that domain name.

And your port 995 / POP3 encrypted is closed. See the port check part.

PS: Your port 465 (SMTP encrypted) is closed too.

thanks for the response @JuergenAuer

i will add the 995 port too, thanks

what can be done about the old cert?
when i run certbot certificates i only get the one correct cert to show up

edit: also i’m not sure what to do about 465 not opening up… any ideas?

47

so adding
smtps inet n - y - - smtpd
to /etc/postfix/master.cf opened up port 465

48

still getting the ‘cannot connect using ssl’ on the iphone

49

making more progress

added to changed dovecot config file 10-master.conf’s service auth section’s unix_listener to /var/spool/postfix/private/auth

sending mail is working fine now but imap incoming and folder syncing isn’t quite working … looks like thunderbird is trying to connect to imap.eyethrees.net even though i’ve changed it to mail.eyethrees.net in the settings

and that seemed to do it… iphone sending and receiving emails now!!
phew
