Here's what you need You need libsasl2 If you're using debian you need: libsasl2 libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-sql You then need to put the following in a smtpd.conf file in /etc/postfix/sasl (debian) or wherever your sasl config files go for your operating system (other common places are /usr/lib/sasl2 and /usr/local/lib/sasl2) mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN ANONYMOUS pwcheck_method: auxprop sql_engine: mysql (or pgsql if you're using postgres) sql_user: someuser sql_passwd: somepasswd sql_hostnames: x.x.x.x sql_database: your_database sql_select: select passwd from users where userid = '%u' Then setup postfix to use sasl as is document readily elsewhere. You may need to modify the sql_select if you aren't using plaintext passwords, there's documentation with libsasl2 that tells you all the different options and syntax. Much easier to setup than the pam stuff. Anyhow, these instructions are for debian unstable... Anything else should be similar, but with subtle differences. Also, there was a large change between versions 2.1.15 and 2.1.18 of libsasl2 on debian. Version 2.1.15 had a libsasl2-modules-mysql and all the config prefixes were mysql_* instead of sql_*. They changed it to a generic engine for 2.1.18 and it broke my setup and reading the instructions and noticing the changes were what was needed (debian just uninstalled libsasl2-modules-mysql instead of replacing it with libsasl2-modules-sql). Good luck. Ryan Butler ADI Internet Solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED]
