tuga Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I've been receiving many emails, at random times of the day, with the following content: One or more POP3 connections failed: Sales <sales@site.tld> Error: Connection error: Can not authenticate to POP3 server: POP3 connection broken in response This started after enabling/disabling several modules. Where should I look to start debugging the problem? Thank you in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this way you are pre-actively notified when a problem is occurring with email importing, rather than finding out from angry customers whose emails haven't been answered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All emails sent to us have been converted into tickets without problems and no costumers have complaint about un-replied emails. No errors have been logged either on /var/log/messages or apache error log and we've no clue about what to do to solve this. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a shell, try this: less /var/log/exim_mainlog | grep 'username' The username should be the email account login. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using CentOS 7 and the correct command is: less /var/log/maillog | grep 'username' Which outputs (ip/user changed): Nov 13 22:58:31 server dovecot: pop3-login: Internal login failure (pid=22883 id=1) (internal failure, 1 successful auths): user=<user.domain>, method=PLAIN, rip=000.000.000.000, lip=000.000.000.000, secured, session=<Rb1jSEKXatWyP0KP> This seem to be a problem related with davecot (internal failure) and not directly with WHMCS. I've enabled error log on davecot and should be able to understand what's happening on the next error. I'll post my findings then.

tuga Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 The error disappeared after a couple of days without a plausible explanation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
