Hello *, At first I have to thank for all the howtos, they really helped me a lot! I followed the howto of http://www.howtoforge.org/isp-mailserver-with-virtual-users-domains-postfix-dovecot-mysql-centos5.0. Receiving emails is no problem and works really fine. But if I try to send emails, I got following errors: In the /var/log/maillog: Code: Dec 1 23:09:41 h1426918 postfix/smtpd[3711]: initializing the server-side TLS engine Dec 1 23:09:41 h1426918 postfix/smtpd[3711]: connect from *****.pool.einsundeins.de[77.188.53.1] Dec 1 23:09:43 h1426918 postfix/smtpd[3711]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed Dec 1 23:09:43 h1426918 postfix/smtpd[3711]: warning: *****.pool.einsundeins.de[77.188.53.1]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: authentication failure Dec 1 23:09:44 h1426918 postfix/smtpd[3711]: lost connection after AUTH from ******.pool.einsundeins.de[77.188.53.1] Dec 1 23:09:44 h1426918 postfix/smtpd[3711]: disconnect from ******.pool.einsundeins.de[77.188.53.1] In the /var/log/message Code: Dec 1 23:09:41 h1426918 postfix/smtpd[3711]: sql_select option missing Dec 1 23:09:41 h1426918 postfix/smtpd[3711]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available Dec 1 23:09:41 h1426918 postfix/smtpd[3711]: auxpropfunc error invalid parameter supplied Dec 1 23:09:43 h1426918 saslauthd[30061]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=webmaster] [service=smtp] [realm=***.de] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] When I run saslfinger I got the following results.

Can you try Code: pwcheck_method: authdaemond log_level: 3 mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN authdaemond_path:/var/spool/authdaemon/socket in /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf?
@Falko, I tried it out but it didn't changed anything. Perheps it's important, that the /var/spool/authdaemon/socket does not exist?
no, I don't have it. I don't use courier. I use Postfix with Dovecot. And in the installation howto it's not mentioned... EDIT: I tried something different and it worked. I read in the Postfix SASL Howto, that it is possible to use the auth of dovecot, so I tried and everything is fine. Here (http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html#server_dovecot) for more information, perhaps someone else has the same problem ...
Naja, I don't suppose you could post your dovecot and postfix configs? I'm going to try taking the same route as you, as I'm having the same problems. I'm working on the dovecot config right now, but I'm getting sort of lost between the SASL docs and using mysql for auth.
Scratch that! Thanks for your insight, I found http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL and sorted out the last few details. Yes! (It's been many days running now and now I celebrate).
