Hi there all, I've just followed the tutorial on this site at http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier_ubuntu_edgy. However I have a problem. Viewing e-mail works without flaw - however I can't send any mail at all. I keep getting the following in /var/log/auth.log: Apr 30 15:25:12 vps postfix/smtpd[28386]: sql auxprop plugin using mysql engine Apr 30 15:29:41 vps postfix/smtpd[28657]: sql auxprop plugin using mysql engine Apr 30 15:29:42 vps saslauthd[20430]: rel_accept_lock : released accept lock Apr 30 15:29:42 vps saslauthd[20326]: get_accept_lock : acquired accept lock Apr 30 15:29:42 vps saslauthd[20430]: cache_get_rlock : attempting a read lock on slot: 817 Apr 30 15:29:42 vps saslauthd[20430]: cache_lookup : [login=khushil.dep] [service=pbgs.org] [realm=smtp]: not found, update pending Apr 30 15:29:42 vps saslauthd[20430]: cache_un_lock : attempting to release lock on slot: 817 Apr 30 15:29:42 vps saslauthd[20430]: pam_mysql - SELECT returned no result. Apr 30 15:29:42 vps saslauthd[20430]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module Apr 30 15:29:42 vps saslauthd[20430]: do_auth : auth failure: [service=smtp] [realm=pbgs.org] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] In the red line above - shouldn't the realm and service entries be the other way around? Now, I would expect this if the user did not exist in the DB but he does (it's me actually) and IMAP and POP3 authenticate me fine. Any ideas at all please folks? vps:/opt/www/pbgs.org/mail/config# cat /etc/postfix/main.cf # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version # Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first # line of that file to be used as the name.

Please compare all the files from the tutorial with your own files. Maybe you made a typo somewhere (maybe in /etc/pam.d/smtp)?
