Hi. I tried to set up my mailserver like in this tutorial Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft) I can send emails to my server from another email address, and i can collect emails from my server using imap protocol, but i cant send mails from my server (e.g. with thunderbird). I googled alot but I could not find any useful information. error message from /var/log/mail.log Code: Apr 24 18:27:13 v914 saslauthd[24494]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module Apr 24 18:27:13 v914 saslauthd[24494]: do_auth : auth failure: [[email protected]] [service=smtp] [realm=example.info] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] Apr 24 18:27:13 v914 saslauthd[24493]: (pam_unix) check pass; user unknown Apr 24 18:27:13 v914 saslauthd[24493]: (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= Apr 24 18:27:15 v914 saslauthd[24493]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module Apr 24 18:27:15 v914 saslauthd[24493]: do_auth : auth failure: [[email protected]] [service=smtp] [realm=example.info] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] (ofcourse [email protected] stands for my real username and realm) error message from /var/log/auth.log Code: Apr 24 18:01:55 v914 postfix/smtpd[21667]: warning: dict_nis_init: NIS domain name not set - NIS lookups disabled Apr 24 18:01:58 v914 postfix/smtpd[21667]: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: Permission denied Apr 24 18:01:58 v914 postfix/smtpd[21667]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed Apr 24 18:01:58 v914 postfix/smtpd[21667]: warning: dslc-082-082-074-037.pools.arcor-ip.net[MYIP]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: generic failure I think its a problem with saslauthd. But I can't find out what I do wrong. This are my configurationfiles: /etc/default/saslauthd Code: START=yes PARAMS="-m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r" PIDFILE="/var/spool/postfix/var/run/${NAME}/saslauthd.pid" # 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" /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf Code: pwcheck_method: saslauthd mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN allow_plaintext: true auxprop_plugin: mysql sql_hostnames: 127.0.0.1 sql_user: USER sql_passwd: PW sql_database: mail sql_select: select password from users where email = '%u' (USER and PW = real username and pw ) vi /etc/pam.d/smtp Code: auth required pam_mysql.so user=USER passwd=PW host=127.0.0.1 db=mail table=users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=password crypt=1 account sufficient pam_mysql.so user=USER passwd=PW host=127.0.0.1 db=mail table=users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=password crypt=1 MySQL username and password information is correct in all files! If anyone knows a solution please help me. thx /iamx
Please have a look in the mysql logfile. Are any errors when pam tries to connect to the mysql server or when the sql query is executed?
hi. I'm sorry, but there is no entry in the mysql logfile. but I found some more information in the syslog file Code: Apr 25 16:31:38 v914 postfix/smtpd[19825]: warning: dict_nis_init: NIS domain name not set - NIS lookups disabled Apr 25 16:31:38 v914 postfix/smtpd[19825]: connect from dslb-088-070-025-176.pools.arcor-ip.net[IP] Apr 25 16:31:42 v914 postfix/smtpd[19825]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed Apr 25 16:31:42 v914 postfix/smtpd[19825]: warning: dslb-088-070-025-176.pools.arcor-ip.net[IP]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: authentication failure Apr 25 16:31:44 v914 postfix/smtpd[19825]: warning: dslb-088-070-025-176.pools.arcor-ip.net[IP]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure Apr 25 16:31:47 v914 postfix/smtpd[19825]: disconnect from dslb-088-070-025-176.pools.arcor-ip.net[IP] /iamx
Yes I think logging is enabled. my.cnf says: Code: log = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log mysql.log file is empty!
Did you set up saslauthd exactly as shown in the tutorial? What's the output of Code: ps aux | grep saslauthd ?
This is the output of "ps aux | grep saslauthd" Code: root 14034 0.0 0.0 6168 972 ? Ss Apr26 0:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r -a pam root 14035 0.0 0.0 6168 584 ?
