I'm in page 5 at the end of Step 11. I'm telnetting in locally and after connecting, the session becomes unresponsive. I've restarted Postfix and it starts fine but restarting the SASL Daemon fails. I'd like to continue from here if possible. If not, do I need to remove the packages I installed at the beginning of Step 11 or can I simply redo those steps? Shoot. Will that even fix the issue?
Okay, So I reran everything. My telnet output is: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host.

Any ideas? The server is being used in an internal test capacity only and will not be receiving traffic from the outside world. My internal subnet is 192.168.200.0.

It must be: Code: pwcheck_method: saslauthd mech_list: plain login This one must read: Code: # This needs to be uncommented before saslauthd will be run automatically START=yes PARAMS="-m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r" # 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" as shown in the tutorial.
