How do I change MECH values? Sure enough, my authentication failed the test. The article says: **If the authentication is not successful, you may have to change the MECH value in /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd and /etc/init.d/saslauthd. I don't have an /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd file, and I don't see what I need to change in /etc/init.d/saslauthd saslauthd -V shows: authentication mechanisms: sasldb getpwent kerberos5 pam rimap shadow ldap I got to this point after following http://howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-ubuntu8.04 , having everything work, except for SMTP to the server. My ISP blocks port 25, and ports 465 and 587 were not yet serving secure SMTP. That lead me to this howto. Thanks in advance for your help! -Steve-
According to the tutorial it should look as follows: Code: pwcheck_method: saslauthd mech_list: plain login allow_plaintext: true auxprop_plugin: mysql sql_hostnames: 127.0.0.1 sql_user: mail_admin sql_passwd: mail_admin_password sql_database: mail sql_select: select password from users where email = '%u'
