Hello, i have problem with postfix after update to ubuntu 11.04

That looks ok. Can you check if there's another smtpd.conf on your system?

Code:

updatedb
locate smtpd.conf

 

root@pras:~# locate smtpd.conf
/etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf

only one...

 

Same problem over here

Installed ubuntu 11.10 server according to the perfect server setup.
With ISPconfig 3

Everthing works fine, exept for one thing.

I cannot connect to the SMTPD via SASL. This is a part of my mail log.
Got the same error messages as red in this threat. Any help....please

Oct 23 22:04:01 NetBase postfix/smtpd[17086]: connect from unknown[192.168.1.182]
Oct 23 22:04:01 NetBase postfix/smtpd[17086]: warning: unknown[192.168.1.182]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: no mechanism available
Oct 23 22:04:01 NetBase postfix/smtpd[17086]: warning: unknown[192.168.1.182]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: no mechanism available

 

seems same problem... dosborne if you solved this problem please tell me...

 

I've found the solution. saslauthd seems to be buggy in Ubuntu 11.10:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cyrus-sasl2/+bug/875440

Try this to solve the problem:

Code:

apt-get install libsqlite0 db4.8-util

cd /tmp
mkdir sasl
cd sasl
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cyrus-sasl2/libsasl2-2_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_amd64.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cyrus-sasl2/libsasl2-modules_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_amd64.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cyrus-sasl2/libsasl2-modules-sql_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_amd64.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cyrus-sasl2/libsasl2-dev_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_amd64.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cyrus-sasl2/sasl2-bin_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_amd64.deb

dpkg -i *.deb

Replace _amd64 with _i386 if you have a 32bit system.

 

New error message

Hi there,
Thnx for the quick response. Now i got this new error message in my mail.log

Oct 24 13:05:01 NetBase postfix/smtpd[2462]: connect from localhost.xxxxxx.local[127.0.0.1]
Oct 24 13:05:01 NetBase postfix/smtpd[2462]: warning: xsasl_cyrus_server_get_mechanism_list: no applicable SASL mechanisms

Fixed the problem thanx to Falco

Thnx Falco for the tips the Url helped me out.
I did the following;
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cyrus-sasl2/libsasl2-2_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/po...sasl2-modules_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/po...2-modules-sql_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/po.../libsasl2-dev_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cyrus-sasl2/sasl2-bin_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_amd64.deb
dpkg -i --force-all *.deb

Replace amd64 with i386 if no 64 bit processor

At first this did't work (missing a cryptolib)
Then i did
apt-get install libssl0.9.8

Restart saslauthd and everything went fine.

Again thnx for the help

 

Thanks Falco

It worked for me

 

Dear,

Please help me I am unable to send email from outlook, I am using ubuntu ispconfig 3, i used ur suggestion but at the end there is error:

Errors were encountered while processing:
libsasl2-modules
libsasl2-modules-sql
sasl2-bin
libsasl2-dev

 

What's the full error message?

 

Same problem too...

Users receive mail fine. They can send from webmail, but not from mail client.

Code:

root@mail:~# updatedb
root@mail:~# locate smtpd.conf
/etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf
/usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf

/etc/default/saslauthd has:

Code:

OPTIONS="-c -m /var/run/saslauthd"

but...

Code:

root@mail:~# updatedb
root@mail:~# locate saslauthd
/etc/default/saslauthd
/etc/default/saslauthd.dpkg-old
/etc/default/saslauthd~
/etc/init.d/saslauthd
/etc/init.d/saslauthd.dpkg-old
/etc/rc1.d/K20saslauthd
/etc/rc2.d/S20saslauthd
/etc/rc3.d/S20saslauthd
/etc/rc4.d/S20saslauthd
/etc/rc5.d/S20saslauthd
/usr/sbin/saslauthd
/usr/sbin/testsaslauthd
/usr/share/man/man8/saslauthd.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/testsaslauthd.8.gz
/var/lib/update-rc.d/saslauthd

Of course changing it to:

Code:

OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd"

...and restarting after the change didn't help either.

I also installed the suggested versions of:

libsasl2-2_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_i386.deb
libsasl2-modules_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_i386.deb
libsasl2-modules-sql_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_i386.deb
libsasl2-dev_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_i386.deb
sasl2-bin_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_i386.deb

...still, no go:

Code:

Nov 16 16:13:03 mail postfix/smtpd[2916]: connect from some.one.provider.net[123.45.67.89]
Nov 16 16:13:04 mail postfix/smtpd[2916]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed
Nov 16 16:13:04 mail postfix/smtpd[2916]: warning: some.one.provider.net[123.45.67.89]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: authentication failure
Nov 16 16:13:04 mail postfix/smtpd[2916]: warning: some.one.provider.net[123.45.67.89]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure
Nov 16 16:14:05 mail postfix/smtpd[2916]: disconnect from some.one.provider.net[123.45.67.89]

What should I do to troubleshoot this further??

 

Did you use this guide? http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-11...-authentication-failed-no-mechanism-available

 

Yes, I tried that...

Yes, I tried that before I posted my question. I mention this in my post.

This is my /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf :

Code:

pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain login pam
allow_plaintext: true
auxprop_plugin: mysql
sql_hostnames: 127.0.0.1
sql_user: ispconfig
sql_passwd: [some_hashed_password_string]
sql_database: dbispconfig
sql_select: select password from mail_user where email = '%u'

Does this seem right? (I've added the "pam" as one user has suggested)

 

The link I posted should wirk without any modifications to the guide. Maybe it's an i386 specific problem (because I tested on x86_64).

 

ok then...

...if you see no other way to troubleshoot this (I don't want to have you going and testing this in x86), could you then help me through moving this really old installation (ispconfig2 that was updated to ispconfig3) to a perfect server setup in a x64 environment?

We no longer need the ISP part of this server and would love to migrate to a simple, mysql-driven, single-domain installation keeping all users, passwords and stored mail too. Is there a guide available for this?

I was thinking to go with Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Ubuntu 11.10)

 

Hi Falko,

I've finally managed to get sasl2 working with the package supplied with Ubuntu 11.10. I think this is a better solution than using older sasl2 packages.
See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cyrus-sasl2/+bug/875440/comments/34 for more details.

Code:

$ cat /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf

pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain login pam
allow_plaintext: true
auxprop_plugin: sql
sql_engine: mysql
sql_hostnames: 127.0.0.1
sql_user: ispconfig
sql_passwd: ******************************
sql_database: dbispconfig
sql_select: select password from mail_user where email = '%u@%r'

Code:

$ cat /etc/default/saslauthd | grep -v ^\#

START=yes
DESC="SASL Authentication Daemon"
NAME="saslauthd"
MECHANISMS="pam"
MECH_OPTIONS=""
THREADS=0
OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r"

This seems to be fine. I only think the SQL query needs modification to take the "disablesmtp" field into account.

I also added "pam" to mech_list to see if local user accounts could be used to authenticate for SMTP. Not tested yet.

 

I came accros this problem when installing on Ubuntu 12.04 and would like to see the changes proposed by basmevissen in the next release, when Ubuntu >= 11.10 is detected by the ISPConfig installer script.

Downgrading to an older sasl version as proposed in the "The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 11.10 [ISPConfig 3] - Page 4" howto, seems to be less desireable.
