Too many bad command: outbound emails with Haraka

Question

When I trying to send email with haraka and swaks I get following error:

521 Too many bad commands

I execute swaks with following arguments:

swaks -f [email protected] -t [email protected] -s localhost -p 587 -au matt -ap pass

File config/auth_flat_file.ini:

[core]
methods=LOGIN

[users]
matt=pass

swaks gives me following output

=== Trying localhost:587...
=== Connected to localhost.
<-  220 server ESMTP Haraka 2.5.0 ready
 -> EHLO server
<-  250-server Hello Unknown [127.0.0.1], Haraka is at your service.
<-  250-PIPELINING
<-  250-8BITMIME
<-  250-SIZE 500000
<-  250 AUTH LOGIN
 -> AUTH LOGIN
<-  334 VXNlcm5hbWU6
 -> bWF0dA==
<** 521 Too many bad commands
*** No authentication type succeeded
 -> QUIT
*** Remote host closed connection unexpectedly.

I used this manual to setting up Haraka for outbound emails. In which can be error and how I can solve and avoid it?

Answer 1

My solution is next:

Edit file max_unrecognized_commands - put biggest number than default (for example 20) and run swaks with following arguments:

swaks --to [email protected] --server localhost --port 587 -au matt -ap test --from [email protected]
