Sirs, Is a new howto manual available for installation of postfix, squirrelmail on Fedora 16? I tried to follow http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-u...urier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-fedora-15-x86_64 im still on the first page and keep on getting conflicts.. Thanks!
Almost There Do yo have an ETA? I have installed everything on Fedora 16 and it's almost there, but I cannot for the life of me get MySQL SMTP authentication to work. POP3 authenticates just fine. I keep getting this in my log: Code: Mar 3 13:43:09 host postfix/smtpd[23453]: xsasl_cyrus_server_next: decoded response: password Mar 3 13:43:09 host postfix/smtpd[23453]: warning: unknown[192.168.0.2]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: no mechanism available Mar 3 13:43:09 host postfix/smtpd[23453]: > unknown[192.168.0.2]: 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: no mechanism available Mar 3 13:43:09 host postfix/smtpd[23453]: smtp_get: EOF How is Fedora 15 different to 16? Any idea what could be happening? It seems to me that the plug-ins cannot be found but that's just a guess. I've been working on this for 3 days solid now and it's driving me nuts Regards, Andy
Not sure what's wrong. Did you disable SELinux? If Fedora is not a requirement, you should consider Debian or Ubuntu.
I figured it out. Seems I was using some legacy config in my smtpd.conf file: When I changed this: pwcheck_method: authdaemond mech_list: plain login allow_plaintext: true auxprop_plugin: mysql sql_hostnames: 127.0.0.1 sql_user: user sql_passwd: password sql_database: mail sql_select: select password from users where email = '%u' authdaemond_path: /usr/local/var/spool/authdaemon/socket to this: pwcheck_method: authdaemond log_level: 3 mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN authdaemond_path: /usr/local/var/spool/authdaemon/socket and then set permissions and did all the other stuff required it worked perfectly. Seems FC16 is not that much different to FC15 after all. So, to OP, which bit are you stuck on?
