Any ideas?
Which distrib and which version of postfix? We just released an update Thursday (MDKA-2002:003) which fixes broken SASL support in 8.1 and implements SASL support in 8.0 (versions of postfix). Likewise, MDKSA-2002:018 was also released Thursday which fixes some format string issues with cyrus-sasl so it is highly recommended that you upgrade. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx -source http://www.freezer-burn.org/bios/vdanen.gpg | gpg --import" 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux kernel 2.4.8-34.1mdk uptime: 38 days 14 hours 33 minutes.
