out of the box, postfix seems to want to run chrooted (which is great). but saslauthd doesn't know to create the mux file where postfix can find it. edit /etc/default/saslauthd and change the PWDIR line to: PWDIR=/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd and PARAMS to have a value of "-m $PWDIR" (with the quotes) restart saslauthd and postfix should be able to sasl just fine. make sure a file called 'mux' is at /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/ if it still doesn't work, turn on some debugging on postfix and see why it's complaining. > > Thanks > > imre -- anoop aryal [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
