Reference: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier Okay, I am finally getting things setup... however, secure smtp refuses to work right now. I can use regular smtp just fine, but secure simply hangs in Evolution and won't deliver mail (no error). The mail.log file gives no indication of an attempted connection. My netstat -tap has this entry twice: Code: tcp6 0 0 *:ssmtp *:* LISTEN 21597/master So it seems to me that postfix is "listening", I am just not sure on which port (assumed 465?). I am not sure what else could be the problem.
After doing what I believe was... uhhh.... nothing I can now connect, but I can't authenticate Code: Jun 12 23:21:53 toolbox postfix/smtpd[21652]: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: Permission denied Jun 12 23:21:53 toolbox postfix/smtpd[21652]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed Jun 12 23:21:53 toolbox postfix/smtpd[21652]: warning: <ip address>[<ip address>]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed
Back again! Not sure what the hell I did, I think I added root to the group sasl or something, anyway now I get this nice one Code: Jun 12 23:41:12 toolbox postfix/smtpd[21849]: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory Jun 12 23:41:12 toolbox postfix/smtpd[21849]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed Jun 12 23:41:12 toolbox postfix/smtpd[21849]: warning: <ip address>[<ip address>]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed Jun 12 23:41:14 toolbox postfix/smtpd[21849]: disconnect from <ip address>[<ip address>] I have read quite a few solutions, but all of them were already handled by the tutorial and I went ahead and confirmed everything (as far as I can tell).
Near as I can tell, I did! What else am I missing? I can connect and authorize with the pop3d-ssl server perfectly fine, I just can't send mail... The thing that pisses me off more than anything is that secure SMTP was working perfectly fine before I had to restart the server, now suddenly only plain/TLS works.
What about: /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf: pwcheck_method: saslauthd auxprop mech_list: plain login allow_plaintext: true auxprop_plugin: sql sql_engine: mysql sql_hostnames: localhost sql_user: *** sql_passwd: *** sql_database: *** sql_select: select password from users where email = '%u' sql_verbose: yes and: /etc/default/saslauthd: # 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="/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r" Just give it a try, don't know if it will solve the problem
