Hi List I recently tried to get the distributed rpm’s for
CyrusImap, sendmail and cyrus sasl that came with CentOS4.1 to act as my
IMAP/POP3 mail-server. I’m fairly familiar with this combination, coming from
RHEL3 with source-built cyrus and sendmail running just fine; however, when I
saw the rpm’s that came with CentOS4.1, I thought it would be good to use
rpm’s since yum could do the updating for me… I got everything to work fairly well, except the
authentication; users can successfully authenticate to collect mail via POP3
and IMAP, but when trying to send thru the server, the authentication fails
with the following: Oct 10 16:27:19 apollo saslauthd[2448]:
do_auth : auth failure:

the problem is with saslauth? I am planning to run multiple virtual hosts on this server
and no LDAP. Can anyone help me to sort this problem out? Thanks in advance for any help. Regards Petre |
