OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server
Postfix version: 2.11.0-1ubuntu1
Cyrus SASL Version: 2.1.25.dfsg1-17build1
I am unable to authenticate users using Postfix and Cyrus SASL. SASL appears to
be correctly configured:
sudo testsaslauthd -u test -p test
0: OK "Success."
However when I perform a telnet to port 587 I receive the following:
535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure
I've configured the file "/etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf" with the following:
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
I've also placed a "smtpd.conf" file in "/usr/lib/sasl2" as well.
I've also added the "postfix" user to the "/etc/group" "sasl" group member.
I've searched the Internet high and low and I'm unable to find any reason for
the failure. Using "-vvv" in the "master.conf" file doesn't reveal any useful
information in the log files. Is there any additional logging I can enable to
track down this problem (lack of logging is really frustrating).
