Hello Denis, > Yikes. That was enough to lose my nerve -- I have sendmail up with AUTH > working easily enough: > http://www.simpaticus.com/linux/sendmail-smtp-auth-howto.php Just a question: Against what do you want to authenticate? The local user database? Or a different database specifically for mail users? In the latter case you could use sasldb2, in which case you do not need saslauthd. I recently configured this on SUSE, but I am not sure if the Fedora rpm's (postfix and cyrus-saslare functionaly the same. Assuming they are these are the relevant postfix configuration options: # smtpd_sasl_auth_enable also necessary for sasldb2 smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous # Use smtpd_sasl_local_domain as the domain for users in the sasldb2 smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname # For Outlook Express 4 and Exchange 5 broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, \ permit_sasl_authenticated, check_relay_domains # smtp options are for outgoing connections smtp_sasl_auth_enable = no smtp_sasl_password_maps = smtp_sasl_security_options = Bye, Leonard. -- mount -t life -o ro /dev/dna /genetic/research
