Hi there. I have been following "Virtual Users With Postfix, PostfixAdmin, Courier, Mailscanner, ClamAV On CentOS" tutorial and I'm stuck with a problem on the SASL authentication. When I try to authenticate via telnet on port 25 I get the following output: [root@newria ~]# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. 220 mail.webria.net ESMTP Postfix AUTH LOGIN 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 ZF2aWQuY2FdGF4b0ByZWRlcmlhLNvbQKDQo= 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 e9saWxvcGb2Nhcw== 535 5.7.0 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure For these commands the log output on the maillog file is: Oct 9 11:33:37 newria postfix/smtpd[5767]: connect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] Oct 9 11:34:00 newria postfix/smtpd[5767]: warning: SASL authentication problem: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or directory Oct 9 11:34:00 newria postfix/smtpd[5767]: warning: SASL authentication problem: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or directory Oct 9 11:34:00 newria postfix/smtpd[5767]: warning: localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure Any idea about what can be wrong? Thanks, yup
Your setup shouldn't use sasldb. Please compare your saslauthd configuration with the one from the tutorial. Maybe you made a typo somewhere.
Still the some problem Hi, I was checking all the configuration files and I tried to follow the howto one more time. Still the same error: Oct 11 16:23:13 webserver postfix/smtpd[4816]: connect from unknown[192.168.2.201] Oct 11 16:23:13 webserver postfix/smtpd[4816]: warning: SASL authentication problem: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or directory Oct 11 16:23:13 webserver postfix/smtpd[4816]: warning: SASL authentication problem: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or directory Oct 11 16:23:13 webserver postfix/smtpd[4816]: warning: unknown[192.168.2.201]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure Oct 11 16:23:13 webserver postfix/smtpd[4816]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[192.168.2.201] Oct 11 16:23:13 webserver postfix/smtpd[4816]: disconnect from unknown[192.168.2.201] When I reboot the machine I get this in the maillog: Oct 11 16:31:44 webserver authdaemond: stopping authdaemond children Oct 11 16:33:23 webserver authdaemond: modules="authmysql", daemons=5 Oct 11 16:33:23 webserver authdaemond: Installing libauthmysql Oct 11 16:33:23 webserver authdaemond: Installation complete: authmysql Oct 11 16:33:30 webserver dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc15 starting up Oct 11 16:33:30 webserver imapd: bind: Address already in use Oct 11 16:33:30 webserver imapd-ssl: bind: Address already in use Oct 11 16:33:30 webserver pop3d: bind: Address already in use Oct 11 16:33:30 webserver pop3d-ssl: bind: Address already in use Oct 11 16:33:31 webserver dovecot: auth(default): No passdbs specified in configuration file.
