 Are you still having issues with SASL integration with Postfix?


Hi Brian,


Yes.  On Evolution I use the same login and password to send and
receive (download) mails without success (both failure).  But it
generated different output on mail.log


On sending mails;

It is the problem of SASL authentication failure.  /etc/sasldb2 does
not exist, no such a file.  But I found;

Re: Evolution unable to login mail server (SOLVED)

2008-11-19 Thread Stephen Liu
Hi folks,


Through difficulties and pain finally I solved all problems.


The mail server running postfix virtual can now send and receive mails
using maildb (MySQL database).  Remote mail client (Evolution) can
login the server sending and receiving mails.


The important config files governing login on the mail server with
following settings are as follows;

This list does not support IMAP clients since it is the Postfix list and

Seems to me like you do not have an /etc/sasldb2 file.  Go and verify the file 
exists.  You may need to build support for it.

Grab saslfinger (links in DEBUG_README) and run 'saslfinger -s'.
You may find a file referring to saslauthd.
If so, this is the real config file that the library is using.

Post the results here if you need further assistance.

 I found the package on;
 http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/
   

This is the correct location.

It is not required to install it as it is a bash script.
Although, you may install it using the simple bash install script.

  I found the package on;
  http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/

 
 This is the correct location.
 
 It is not required to install it as it is a bash script.

  Hi folks,
 
 
  I'm following;
  http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/index.html
 
  to build a mail server running postfix virtual.  The server is now
  running able to send and receive mails.  But remote mail client
  'Evolution' can't login the server to send/receive mails.

 
 A client receiving mails should be the focus of the POP/IMAP
 implementation you are using.
