Hi, I'm trying to set up SMTP-Auth with postfix. The requirement is that System users can send mail independent of their connection to the internet so smtp-after pop or smtp-auth would be solutions. I'd prefer smtp-auth though.
I'm using debian testing and installed postfix and postfix-tls. I searched the net and tried just about any howto and any suggestion I could find but it just doesn't work. If I enable sasl auth in postfix (main.cf), I always get: postfix/smtpd[7306]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms postfix/master[579]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 7306 exit status 1 postfix/master[579]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling I have an smtpd.conf in /usr/lib/sasl and /etc/postfix/sasl that specifies an authentication method. It seems though that those files are not even evaluated since I can put just about anything there without it making any difference. My postfix setup ist *not* chrooted for now. Is there anyone out there who has managed to get those two to work with debian testing? Since I can't activate sasl at all with postfix I'm beginning to wonder that the packages might be broken. I'd really appreciate any hint on how to further track down the problem or a solution on how to get those two to work. Does anyone know how to strace the smtpd process? Maybe the conf file just needs a different name. Thanks a lot, Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
