Hi, I have installed the sasl packages and configured sasl so testsaslauthd works perfectly with the ldap backend. I then set up postfix to have this on port 465 in master.cf:
smtps inet n - n - - smtpd -v -o syslog_name=postfix/smtps -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes but when I try to connect: root@sys:~# telnet localhost 465 Trying ::1... Connected to localhost.localdomain.

The decoded user and password in the log are correct so the problem seems to be between postfix and saslauth. I need this for an old HVAC controller that either uses this or no authentication at all to connect to the mail server. Thanks very much for your help. cheers, ski -- "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it connected to the entire universe" John Muir Chris "Ski" Kacoroski, kacoro...@gmail.com, 206-501-9803
