Hi, I recently upgraded my VPS from squeeze to wheezy using the Debian upgrade instructions. There were a few issues, most of which I've sorted, but this one's a killer.
The server runs a postfix mail server with dovecot imap, and sasl authentication via mysql. After the upgrade I am no longer able to log on to send mail, the error message being: May 14 10:34:47 vanderhoff postfix/smtpd[6818]: Anonymous TLS connection established from magpieway.net[81.2.85.100]: TLSv1 with cipher ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits) May 14 10:34:47 vanderhoff postfix/smtpd[6818]: warning: magpieway.net[81.2.85.100]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: generic failure May 14 10:34:47 vanderhoff postfix/smtpd[6818]: warning: magpieway.net[81.2.85.100]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: generic failure On the server: root@vanderhoff:/etc/cron.daily# testsaslauthd -uxxxx -pyyyy connect() : No such file or directory I imagine a socket is not created correctly. Fortunately Squirrelmail still works. Extensive Googling yields lots of results, but none appear relevant to this situation. Does anyone please have any suggestions, please as to how to debug this?
