Hi all, I am trying to configure SMTP AUTH on an FC5 development system and I'm seeing something strange and hoping someone can help. This is my environment: Postfix version: 2.2.8-1.2 Cyrus SASL: 2.1.21 My Postfix is configured to host virtual domains (cymulacrum.cym and virago.cym) and delivers mail via lmtp to Cyrus IMAP. The authentication system I am using is not PAM but sasldb2. I have created the following accounts inside sasldb2: [root@aeonflux log]# sasldblistusers2 admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: userPassword tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx: userPassword dick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx: userPassword harry@xxxxxxxxxx: userPassword jill@xxxxxxxxxx: userPassword admin@xxxxxxxxxx: userPassword admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx: userPassword jack@xxxxxxxxxx: userPassword Now, I have already configured Postfix for SMTP AUTH and I am able to successfully authenticate with admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, by using: username: admin password: admin But when I try to authenticate using: username: tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx password: tom (yes, the password is correct -- I'm using weak passwords because this is for a tutorial I am conducting) I get an authentication error. I get errors for all the other accounts except the one above. I suspect that I have to define the realm somewhere instead of just using the "@domain", but I really don't know where to begin looking. Any help would be greatly appreciated! --
hey, Did you added the sasldb2 to smtpd.conf under /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf for example pwcheck_method: saslauthd mech_list: plain login change as per your need "saslauthd to sasldb2" You have to configure sasl settings in postfix/main.cf file also http://www.securitysage.com/antispam/sasltls.html
