I've just installed postfix-tls but it will not authenticate users with SASL. The error is simply "SASL LOGIN authentication failed" but that's it. I have verbose logging on. Is there any way to get more information from the SASL module?
I took a trace and see that postfix is offering AUTH LOGIN PLAIN, LOGIN is negotiated, and I have triple checked the base64 encoded credentials being passed. The password is right. Other than the defalult config I created /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf with pwcheck_method: pwcheck (is there any way to check this pwcheck program?) and added the following to /etc/postfix/main.cf: smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, check_relay_domains >From the documentation this looks like all that should be necessary. The only thing I can think of is that the postfix instance is not an authority for the domain the machine is on. Meaning I have myhostname = host123.foo.isp.com. The MX records don't point to host123 but it get's emails sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was hoping to get all of this working first before I change the MX records for real. The funny thing is I'm running basically the same setup on another host without any problems (with saslauthd though). So where do I go from here? I'm stumped. Thanks, Mike -- A program should be written to model the concepts of the task it performs rather than the physical world or a process because this maximizes the potential for it to be applied to tasks that are conceptually similar and, more important, to tasks that have not yet been conceived. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
