    I've followed the following tutorial:
    http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-fedora-10-p3

    Very perfect document but SASL Authenticated is out of order for me.
    I can't send mail Outlook Express.
    SquerelliMail send mail work perfectly.

    SELINUX is disabled.
    Username and password is corretly.
    Fedora 10 x86_64 distribution.

    Code:
    postfix/smtpd[28184]: connect from unknown[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
    postfix/smtpd[28184]: warning: unknown[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure
    postfix/smtpd[28184]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
    postfix/smtpd[28184]: disconnect from unknown[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
    any help would be great
    Thanks
    Thomas

    Your question the answer. :)


    /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf:
    Code:
    pwcheck_method: authdaemond
    log_level: 3
    mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
    
    but

    /usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf:
    Code:
    pwcheck_method: saslauthd
    mech_list: plain login
    
    corretly /usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf:
    Code:
    pwcheck_method: authdaemond
    log_level: 3
    mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
