Quoting Jeffrey L. Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I am trying to get SASL running with Postfix on Debian. I would like to authenticate against /etc/passwd, but I only have a few users and they don't change often so any mechanism would be okay. I have the following in /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf and /usr/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf:
pwcheck_method: passwd mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
I am getting the following error in syslog:
postfix/smtpd[3072]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms
Does anyone have this working?
TIA, Jeffrey
Additional details, I have the following packages installed:
postfix postfix-tls libsasl7
Do I need anything else?
Jeffrey
You should really authenticate against pwcheck. This allows you to run Postfix as a non-priveleged user in a chroot jail, with no access to /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow.
