I followed http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/postfix-sasl.php. I changed "pwcheck_method: sasldb" in /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf then followed by "saslpasswd2 -a smtpd". I already have sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd sasl_mech_list: PLAIN in /etc/imapd.conf. I also made "smtpd_sasl_local_domain =" in /etc/postfix/main.cf. Is this the correct way of doing things? >> However, I still have one more question, sasldb means I need to >> useradd/passwd to create new users.

I'm just confused. I was hoping to authenticate against cyrus mailbox and do smtp auth with one set of account. That way it would be easy to maintain. By changing pwcheck_method: sasldb in smtpd.conf, I made it to authenticate against sasl.db for smtp auth, and login to cyrus mailbox against /etc/passwd? Regards, Norman
