Upon seeing this thread, I decided to revisit my old smtp-auth problem as
well. Thanks to a few well placed words from Mr. Parsons here, I am very
pleased.
When I first checked back in on the aborted smtp-auth I had tried when I
threw qmail into production in October, my email client would just keep
asking for a password. I have no clue whether I had checked this particular
log before, but now (with a head clear of the hour-by-hour struggle back in
October) I saw
@400000003e1c83f7239f397c /var/qmail/bin/auth_smtp: error while loading
shared libraries: libsasl.so.7: failed to map segment from shared object:
Cannot allocate memory
Putting this information with the recent information I read about the higher
softlimit thing, and I'm running perfectly. All it took was changing my
supervise script to (it was at -m 2000000)
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 8000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l "$LOCAL" -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c
"$MAXSMTPD" \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
/var/qmail/bin/auth_smtp /bin/true 2>&1
So here is my list of thank yous: thank you Jason, for getting that
softlimit number open. Thank you Henning, for the patch I couldn't figure
out how to use until now and the Life With qmail-ldap page. Thanks to Andre
and Claudio for the ldap patch. And thank you to djb of course.
