A few questions regarding Kolab3 configuration

Hello,

I've recently upgraded to Kolab 3 and so far almost everything is working great. Thanks for the great product!

I've got a few issues I haven't managed to iron out yet, and can't find the relevant information in the docs.

First off, I can't use SMTP when using an IMAP client (such as Apple's Mail.app). If I try and use authenticated SMTP, it fails to authenticate with the same credentials as the IMAP server. If I use unauthenticated SMTP, it refuses to send, and I see the following in my /var/log/mail.log:

Feb 11 14:46:36 mail postfix/smtpd[9716]: warning: hostname 24-52-223-112.cable.teksavvy.com does not resolve to address 24.52.223.112: Name or service not known
Feb 11 14:46:36 mail postfix/smtpd[9716]: connect from unknown[24.52.223.112]
Feb 11 14:46:37 mail postfix/smtpd[9716]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[24.52.223.112]: 554 5.7.1 <redacted at example.com>: Relay access denied; from=<gw at gwright.org.uk> to=<redacted at example.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<[192.168.1.218]>
Feb 11 14:46:38 mail postfix/smtpd[9716]: disconnect from unknown[24.52.223.112]

I've also noticed:

Feb 10 11:21:04 mail postfix/submission/smtpd[5845]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1]
Feb 10 11:21:04 mail postfix/submission/smtpd[5845]: D708110E053: client=localhost[127.0.0.1], sasl_method=LOGIN, sasl_username=redacted at gwright.org.uk
Feb 10 11:21:05 mail postfix/submission/smtpd[5845]: D708110E053: reject: DATA from localhost[127.0.0.1]: 554 5.7.1 <DATA>: Data command rejected: Could not find envelope sender user redacted at example.com; from=<redacted at example.com> to=<gw at gwright.org.uk> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail.gwright.org.uk>
Feb 10 11:21:05 mail postfix/submission/smtpd[5845]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1]

(where redacted at example.com is a secondary email for redacted at gwright.org.uk, and example.com is a domain alias for gwright.org.uk)

Secondly, how do I set up my StartSSL certificates for IMAPS/SMTPS usage?

Thirdly, I've tried following the instructions for setting up hosted kolab, but unfortunately my primary domain is "gwright.org.uk" and other domains I'd like to be using have only two parts i.e. "example.com" rather than "example.com.foo". Can this be done? The documentation suggests that it won't work with the configuration as laid out, but doesn't suggest an alternative.

Many thanks,

George
