Hi, I've been following this howto http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-u...urier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-ubuntu-12.04-lts I've searched quite extensively, but nothing seemed to be the right fix. This is the error: Code: Nov 22 02:59:07 host postfix/master[28492]: daemon started -- version 2.5.1, configuration /etc/postfix Nov 22 03:25:16 host postfix/smtpd[21507]: warning: SASL per-process initialization failed: generic failure Nov 22 03:25:16 host postfix/smtpd[21507]: fatal: SASL per-process initialization failed Nov 22 03:25:17 host postfix/master[28492]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 21507 exit status 1 Nov 22 03:25:17 host postfix/master[28492]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling Telnet would just hang. When I set smtpd_sasl_auth_enable to no, it worked, I could send mail and receive it. I then noticed that I could only receive mail that was sent with telnet and not from google. From searching I found I needed to add this: smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers=RC4-MD5 I could then receive mail from outside. That seems more of a patch than a fix. Any comments on this one?

I figure this isn't part of it because it has to do with courier, but I'll just throw this out there to. When trying to add one of the email addresses to thunderbird. It pops up a warning that says "This site attempts to identify itself with invalid information."
Can you put these three directives in one line each instead of multiple lines? Code: virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf, mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf Code: smtpd_sender_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, warn_if_reject, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_unauth_pipelining, permit smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination Code: proxy_read_maps = $local_recipient_maps $mydestination $virtual_alias_maps $virtual_alias_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_mailbox_domains $relay_recipient_maps $relay_domains $canonical_maps $sender_canonical_maps $recipient_canonical_maps $relocated_maps $mynetworks $virtual_mailbox_limit_maps
Sorry, probably because I didn't have terminal maximized when I copied them. Code: virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf, mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf Code: smtpd_sender_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, warn_if_reject, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_unauth_pipelining, permit Code: proxy_read_maps = $local_recipient_maps $mydestination $virtual_alias_maps $virtual_alias_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_mailbox_domains $relay_recipient_maps $relay_domains $canonical_maps $sender_canonical_maps $recipient_canonical_maps $relocated_maps $mynetworks $virtual_mailbox_limit_maps
results from testsaslauthd sudo testsaslauthd -u test -p test connect() : No such file or directory sudo testsaslauthd -u test -p test -f /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/mux 0: NO "authentication failed"
I seem to have finally stumbled on to a similar issue. The fix was to tell postfix directly the path to sasl in the main.cf file smtpd_sasl_path = /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd By doing that I was also able to remove the smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers=RC4-MD5 for google.
