Problems with saslauthd - Debian Perfect setup 3.1 + ISPConfig Hello Looking at the forums, it looks like lots of people have the same problem as me. But still, none of the solutions work for me. So ill just make yet another post. My problem is that i cannot auth with saslauthd, to send mails over smtp. log from authd Code: Apr 12 12:11:21 server02 saslauthd[13840]: (pam_unix) check pass; user unknown Apr 12 12:11:21 server02 saslauthd[13840]: (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= Apr 12 12:11:22 server02 saslauthd[13840]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module Apr 12 12:11:22 server02 saslauthd[13840]: do_auth : auth failure: [[email protected]] [service=smtp] [realm=server02.host.eu] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] and some ps Code: server02:/home/peter# ps aux | grep sasl root 13836 0.0 0.0 6188 1744 ?

Thanks for any help. Peter
The user "[email protected]" can not exist, usernames in linux never have @ signs. You must use just "web1_peter" as smtp username.
Hmm, your right. In thunderbird (just tested with evolution also) i only write "web1_peter" as username for smtp. Then, where does @serve... come from? Any idea where it might come from? Thanks Peter
The logs shows Code: auth failure: [[email protected]] [service=smtp] [realm=server02.host.eu] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] And i only login with "web1_peter" not "[email protected]" as till pointed out to be the problem. Then iam asking, if someone knows why "web1_peter" gets to be "[email protected]" `? I have tested in thunderbird and evolution, same result for both.
Please check your email clients again that they really use web1_peter instead of [email protected]. What's in /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf?
Ahh i found it. Quite simple really. You did tell me in the other thread to follow the howto 100% and not look left and right. In the howto you write Code: postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_local_domain =' but later in the box for main.cf you write Code: smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname And then when authing with "web1_peter" it of course translates to "[email protected]" So when fixing this, all works well.
