    Does this happen when you send an email? What's the exact error message from the mail log?

    What's the output of
    Code:
    ps aux|grep saslauthd
    ?

    Kill the existing saslauthd processes:

    Code:
    kill -9 3573
    kill -9 3574
    kill -9 3575
    kill -9 3576
    kill -9 3577
    and start saslauthd:
    Code:
    /etc/init.d/saslauthd start

    This works only until reboot.

    Does not solve problem with acessing pop3 with email client, neither with webmail.

    After reboot,

    /etc/init.d/saslauthd stop or start or restart do not work again.

    This is easy to fix :)

    edit the file: /etc/init.d/saslauthd

    find this line:
    Code:
    PIDFILE=/var/run/$NAME/saslauthd.pid
    change it to:
    Code:
    PIDFILE=/var/spool/postfix/var/run/$NAME/saslauthd.pid
    This is because the pidfile is created inside the jail, but the init script looks for an not chrooted sasl pidfile.

    problem solved???

    Hi,

    Does this solve the problem?
    pwcheck_method: saslauthd auxprop
    mech_list: plain login
    allow_plaintext: true
    auxprop_plugin: mysql
    sql_hostnames: localhost
    sql_user: ***
    sql_passwd: ***
    sql_database: ***
    sql_select: select password from users where email = '%u'
    sql_verbose: yes

    With this I don't have "postfix/smtpd: _sasl_plugin_load failed on sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: sql" BUT I do receive "postfix/smtpd: sql auxprop plugin using mysql engine"

    How can I get rid of this message too???

    I don't think this message:
    Code:
    postfix/smtpd: sql auxprop plugin using mysql engine
    is an error. :)

    Thank You Falko for confirming it. I just want to know if there's some way I do not receive this message again without disabling it in logcheck. I hope my previous message will solve some problems.

    BTW: I saw a new postfix comming out on backports. Is there some howto which is as extended as yours for this version?

    Thanks in advance

    No, but you can use mine, but keep this in mind:
    The format of the cf files has changed from Postfix 2.1 to 2.2. For example, on Postfix prior to 2.2, /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf looks like this:
    Code:
    user = mail_admin
    password = mail_admin_password
    dbname = mail
    table = domains
    select_field = 'virtual'
    where_field = domain
    hosts = 127.0.0.1
    Starting with 2.2, the file looks like this:

    Code:
    user = mail_admin
    password = mail_admin_password
    dbname = mail
    query = SELECT virtual FROM domains WHERE domain='%s'
    hosts = 127.0.0.1
    It should be easy to adopt this for the other cf files.

    Maybe this can help (using shadow)

    1. if you use chrooted then edit /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf
    add -> saslauthd_path: /var/run/sasl2/mux
    2. stop saslauthd then start saslauthd using this command:
    saslauthd -m var/spool/postfix/var/run/sasl2-a shadow
