My email notifications (actually the smtp connection) is rejected by my earthlink server:
-----------------------------
2010:01:06-20:36:54 tt-asg notifier[2863]: INFO: == sending notfication via mail!
2010:01:06-20:36:54 tt-asg notifier[2863]: WARN: - could not send notification: EHLO command failed: 220 NO UCE. EarthLink does not authorize the use of its computers or network
2010:01:06-20:36:54 tt-asg notifier[2863]: at notifier.pl line 1376

2010:01:06-20:36:54 tt-asg notifier[2863]: INFO: #-- notification delivery failure, notification is queued
-------------------------------
that 220 seems to be just a warning banner (but I'm not smtp expert) that trips up the asg sender. Here's a copy of a telnet session to the smtp server:
-----------------
C:\Users\tdaly>telnet smtpauth.earthlink.net 587
220-elasmtp-masked.atl.sa.earthlink.net ESMTP Exim 4.67 #1 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 23:
8:39 -0500
220-NO UCE. EarthLink does not authorize the use of its computers or network
220 equipment to accept, transmit, or distribute unsolicited e-mail.
ehlo
250-elasmtp-masked.atl.sa.earthlink.net Hello [98.234.2.102]
250-SIZE 14680064
250-PIPELINING
250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN CRAM-MD5
250-STARTTLS
250 HELP
-------------------------
earthlink seems to respond properly to a ehlo, but only after the sender
sees/ignores the NO UCE banner.

Can a pro confirm that this is an astaro problem? Or do I have something
misconfigured?

thanks,
tom

Hi, does telnet on port 25 work also?

Do you have Astaro configured to use a smarthost WITH Authentication enabled?

doesn't matter - earthlink won't accept email on 25 from outside their net.
That's why i've configured exactly as you've asked - using the submission port, and with authentication. My telnet trace shows earthlink
still willing to accept logins after the banner, but ASG gives up upon seeing the banner. It doesn't go as far as trying the authentication.
