    thanks for the great docs, very well done and much appreciated.

    I'm working with Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (+ SMTP-AUTH, Quota, SpamAssassin, ClamAV) at http://howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier

    I'm setting it up on a fresh, clean, updated install of Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger.

    I've read through about six related threads in various threads on these forums, but i'm no closer to success, hence the post.

    I strayed from Howto by omitting everything quota related, but otherwise all remains the same.

    I have some repeated errors in the auth log which don't seem to be causing any functional problems that i've noticed. should i worry about them or shall i just press on and know they're there for me to read when i'm bored?

    Here is the auth.log snippet which is repeated over and over both when mail is flowing in both directions and when it is not:
    Code:

    my /etc/default/saslauthd looks like this:
    Code:
    # This needs to be uncommented before saslauthd will be run automatically
     START=yes
    
    # You must specify the authentication mechanisms you wish to use.
    # This defaults to "pam" for PAM support, but may also include
    # "shadow" or "sasldb", like this:
    # MECHANISMS="pam shadow"
    
    MECHANISMS="pam"
    PARAMS="-m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r"
    
    here's what my /etc/courier/authmysqlrc has going on:

    Did you have a look at the links I posted above?

    yes

    I read all forum posts, search on google but nothing helps me :( emails works perfectly except posted errors in auth.log

    postconf -d | grep mail_version
    mail_version = 2.1.5

    Does your /etc/pam.d/smtp look exactly as the one from the tutorial? Maybe you made a typo somewhere.

    /etc/pam.d/smtp

    Code:
    cat /etc/pam.d/smtp
    auth    required   pam_mysql.so user=mail_admin passwd=*** host=127.0.0.1 db=mail table=users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=password crypt=1
    account sufficient pam_mysql.so user=mail_admin passwd=*** host=127.0.0.1 db=mail table=users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=password crypt=1

    Can you compare all of your settings with those from the tutorial? Maybe it's a small typo somewhere, or the format of your configuration files is wrong...

    I have the exact same problem. Or i shouldn't say problem since its just a minor annoyance in the log files. But i'm very curious as to find out what's really causing it.

    And need i mention that i'm a linux newbie, but have followed the howto right to the letter. I have also gone over the .conf files to check for spelling errors.

    What's in your log files? Is the system still working despite these entries in the log files?

    That seems to be ok, although I haven't compared the files letter for letter (I hope you did).
    Is your system working despite the warnings in the logs?

    possible sollution

    Hi,

    Think I have resolved the problem with postfix/smtpd.conf

    pwcheck_method: saslauthd auxprop
    mech_list: plain login
    allow_plaintext: true
    auxprop_plugin: mysql
    sql_hostnames: localhost
    sql_user: some_dbase
    sql_passwd: password
    sql_database: some_dbase
    sql_select: select password from users where email = '%u'

    logcheck gives now:
    postfix/smtpd: sql auxprop plugin using mysql engine

    I hope falco can confirm...
