Why am I getting this message when someone sends me an email?
fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms
I'm not trying to relay through postfix for which I should need
authentication. I'm just sending mail to recipient. It should not
check for authentication.
I fixed this error in main.cf
I had entered smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes and it should've been
smtpd_sasl2_auth_enable = yes
Now, this is what I have to enable sasldb2 authentication in my main.cf
smtpd_sasl2_auth_enable = yes
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
smtpd_sender_login_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_senders
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,
permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous, nodictionary
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
I did postmap on sasl_senders and sasl_passwd
I can't receive mail since postfix reports the accounts as unknown
and I can't relay either.
I'm using the bood Postfix: The definite guide by Kyle Dent.
I'm using FC4 with SElinux enabled. I opened the ports in the
firewall, I checked permissions on the required files so Postfix can
have access to them
I don't know what to do.
Postfix just doesn't want to work.
