My first thoghts was that you are using postfix not in chroot and you are trying to access saslauthd in wrong folder, but everything seems fine in your config files and folders so far. I could find some hints searching by google, this one is promising http://bsdsearch.com/eao/phorum/read.php?f=38&i=2810&t=2810&v=f Lets see other config files Code: cat /etc/init.d/saslauthd /* about your main.cf, i guess you forgot to install procmail, or just forgot to configure postfix to using it. mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" just ignore me if you are planning to not use procmail */
What feutures will procmail do? Or what does it add? here is the file #!/bin/sh -e NAME=saslauthd DAEMON="/usr/sbin/${NAME}" DESC="SASL Authentication Daemon" DEFAULTS=/etc/default/saslauthd PWDIR="/var/spool/postfix/var/run/${NAME}" PIDFILE="${PWDIR}/saslauthd.pid" dir="root sasl 755 ${PWDIR}" createdir() { # $1 = user # $2 = group # $3 = permissions (octal) # $4 = path to directory [ -d "$4" ] || mkdir -p "$4" chown -c -h "$1:$2" "$4" chmod -c "$3" "$4" } test -f "${DAEMON}" || exit 0 # Source defaults file; edit that file to configure this script. caveguard:~# clear caveguard:~# cat /etc/init.d/saslauthd #!/bin/sh -e NAME=saslauthd DAEMON="/usr/sbin/${NAME}" DESC="SASL Authentication Daemon" DEFAULTS=/etc/default/saslauthd PWDIR="/var/spool/postfix/var/run/${NAME}" PIDFILE="${PWDIR}/saslauthd.pid" dir="root sasl 755 ${PWDIR}" createdir() { # $1 = user # $2 = group # $3 = permissions (octal) # $4 = path to directory [ -d "$4" ] || mkdir -p "$4" chown -c -h "$1:$2" "$4" chmod -c "$3" "$4" } test -f "${DAEMON}" || exit 0 # Source defaults file; edit that file to configure this script. if [ -e "${DEFAULTS}" ]; then .

Procmail is needed for selecting and forwarding messages to different services like the spamfilter, virusscanner, mail forward, quota, autoresponder and such.. I hope Falko or Till will correct me if i am wrong.. about sasl, i can not see errors im your config files. it could be smthing very annoying typo somewhere.. or maybe not.. If i were you i would reinstall all packages related to this issue: Code: apt-get --reinstall install postfix postfix-tls libsasl2 libsasl2-modules sasl2-bin
Hm, i already use thows feutures and they seams to work.. Hm, ok, i will do that and come back...will follow perfect setup 3.1 debian again and report back.
You must have something wrong. If you simply copy & paste the commands from the "Perfect Setup", it will work.
Falko, i think something has changed in the debian packages since you wrote the howto. Lot of people seem to have problems with saslauth and smtp auth'ing, including me. I also followed the perfect setup, step by step, and it simply wornt work.
Believe me, it's working. I've just set up another server with this tutorial two days ago. If you just follow it and don't look left and right, then it's working. Don't do anything else, just do what is said in the tutorial.
Solved! After some hours of googleing and testing i found a page: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/07/msg01010.html What i did was that i added postfix to the sals group, rm -rf /var/run/saslauthd ln -s /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/ /var/run/saslauthd And it works now! I am runnign Sarge 3.1 amd64 I hope this will help people, please support the ispconfig community by postback sollutions! Creds to the codehackers!
starting up saslauthd Have a look here too: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3917&highlight=saslauthd Hans
I have the same problem,and dont work with that commands. I do a vimdiff from my files to howto's configuration files and are the same except the domain, of course. update: Im restart all services and now (thanks to $deity) gives an error: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: Permission denied And with testsaslauthd runs well, before the restart dont work: testsaslauthd -f /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/mux -u minskog.net_minskog -p password 0: OK "Success." Update 2: lerra have: PWDIR="/var/spool/postfix/var/run/${NAME}" I have: PWDIR=/var/run/saslauthd But ig i put PWDIR="/var/spool/postfix/var/run/${NAME}", then sasl dont start.
I restart it a lot, but i think that the problem could be here: Code: Starting SASL Authentication Daemon: mode of `/var/run/saslauthd' changed to 0710 (rwx--x---) Update: If i put /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd with 777, dont gives permission error, but continues giving errors, the password is correct and the user, I use them with imap, pop and testsasauthd, and works perfectly: Code: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed
Yes, and the same: Code: server1:/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd# killall saslauthd server1:/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd# killall saslauthd saslauthd: no process killed server1:/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd# /etc/init.d/saslauthd start Starting SASL Authentication Daemon: mode of `/var/run/saslauthd' changed to 0710 (rwx--x---) saslauthd. then i try to send one mail: Code: May 10 16:12:27 server1 postfix/smtpd[25016]: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: Permission denied May 10 16:12:27 server1 postfix/smtpd[25016]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed Update: I am trying in another server, and the same. Are both debian sarge 3.1 32bits, ispconfig version 2.2.2. Updaet 2: I reconfigure postfix and sasl by copy&paste from the howto and the same. Update 3: im crazy, i have 3 servers with ispconfig, server 1 and server 2 fails, but server 3 runs well, and i dont see any significative differences in configuration ...
Server 2 work now with a complete reinstall, but server 1 continues giving sasl errors. Code: May 10 18:36:17 server1 postfix/smtpd[30797]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed May 10 18:36:17 server1 postfix/smtpd[30797]: warning: x.Red-x-x-x.staticIP.rima-tde.net[x.x.x.x]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed May 10 18:36:17 server1 postfix/smtpd[30797]: warning: x.Red-x-x-x.staticIP.rima-tde.net[x.x.x.x]: SASL LOGIN authentication Postfix telnet: Code: ehlo minskog 250-server1.domain.com 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN 250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN 250 8BITMIME Says that sasl are active, and the test: Code: testsaslauthd -f /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/mux -u minskog.net_minskog -p password 0: OK "Success."
