[This message has also been posted to linux.debian.user.] I've got Postfix with amavis-new and Spamassassin, and my LAN users access email via Dovecot's IMAP/S. All working well, using the Etch packages.
Now I'll need to support a couple of mobile users. They'll be connecting at insecure wi-fi hotspots, and need to send through my Postfix. Typical windows and Linux clients: MS-OE, Thunderbird, etc. Packages installed include libssl-dev libssl0.9.7 libssl0.9.8 openssl ssl-cert libgnutls-dev libgnutls11 libgnutls13 dovecot-common dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d postfix libsasl2 libsasl2-2 libsasl2-dev libsasl2-modules sasl2-bin I made a local cert and key with openssl, and tested them. The relevant stanza from master.cf is submission inet n - n - - smtpd -o smtpd_use_tls=yes -o smtpd_tls_auth_only=yes -o smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/postfix/postfix_private_key.pem -o smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/postfix/postfix_public_cert.pem -o smtpd_enforce_tls=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o smtpd_sasl_security_options=noanonymous -o broken_sasl_auth_clients=yes -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject When I send through an SMTP+TLS client, Kmail, this appears in the Postfix log: Jul 27 10:22:00 hostname postfix/smtpd[4892]: warning: smtpd_sasl_auth_enable is true, but SASL support is not compiled in Jul 27 10:22:00 hostname postfix/smtpd[4892]: connect from myotherdomain.org[66.159.nnn.nnn] Jul 27 10:22:01 hostname postfix/smtpd[4892]: lost connection after UNKNOWN from myotherdomain.org[66.159.nnn.nnn] Jul 27 10:22:01 hostname postfix/smtpd[4892]: disconnect from myotherdomain.org[66.159.nnn.nnn] The error dialog from Kmail says: Sending failed: Your SMTP server does not support authentication.

The following transport protocol was used: send via TLS submission on hostname Obviously I'm missing something. My first thougth was "get SASL support," but I don't see a separate postfix package for that. postconf -a says cyrus dovecot postconf | egrep '(^tls|^smtpd_tls|smtpd_sasl)' says smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = no smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = no smtpd_sasl_exceptions_networks = smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_path = smtpd smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_tls_security_options = $smtpd_sasl_security_options smtpd_tls_CAfile = smtpd_tls_CApath = smtpd_tls_always_issue_session_ids = yes smtpd_tls_ask_ccert = no smtpd_tls_auth_only = no smtpd_tls_ccert_verifydepth = 5 smtpd_tls_cert_file = smtpd_tls_dcert_file = smtpd_tls_dh1024_param_file = smtpd_tls_dh512_param_file = smtpd_tls_dkey_file = $smtpd_tls_dcert_file smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers = smtpd_tls_key_file = $smtpd_tls_cert_file smtpd_tls_loglevel = 0 smtpd_tls_mandatory_ciphers = medium smtpd_tls_mandatory_exclude_ciphers = smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = SSLv3, TLSv1 smtpd_tls_received_header = no smtpd_tls_req_ccert = no smtpd_tls_security_level = smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s smtpd_tls_wrappermode = no tls_daemon_random_bytes = 32 tls_export_cipherlist = ALL:+RC4:@STRENGTH tls_high_cipherlist = ALL:!EXPORT:!LOW:!MEDIUM:+RC4:@STRENGTH tls_low_cipherlist = ALL:!EXPORT:+RC4:@STRENGTH tls_medium_cipherlist = ALL:!EXPORT:!LOW:+RC4:@STRENGTH tls_null_cipherlist = !aNULL:eNULL+kRSA tls_random_bytes = 32 tls_random_exchange_name = ${queue_directory}/prng_exch tls_random_prng_update_period = 3600s tls_random_reseed_period = 3600s tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf contains: # Global parameters pwcheck_method: saslauthd mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN So what did I miss? tx Cameron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
