Thanks for your help so far, Rupa! I have now decided to give it a go with /etc/sasldb2 - but am still not successful. Right now, postfix is telling me:
warning: SASL authentication failure: no secret in database Here's what I did: 1. I changed pwcheck_method in /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf to 'sasldb' (Actually I did this last, but it had no effect anyway) 2. Using saslpasswd2, I created an /etc/sasldb2 file with a user 'madduck' and a 10-character password. `sasldblistusers2` shows that this was successful: madduck@albatross: userPassword also, running `strings` on /etc/sasldb2 shows XxXxXxXxXx <- my password madduck albatross userPassword 3. I now copied /etc/sasldb2 to /var/spool/postfix/etc 4. Postfix would now complain permission denied until I chgrp'd the file to group postfix. 5. Now it gives warning: SASL authentication failure: no secret in database warning: ... SASL CRAM-MD5 authentication failed Is there anything I missed? Why is it not working? -- Please do not CC me!
