    Built new ISPConfig2 server last night. Things seemed to be just fine. Web sites working great. Email not so much.

    I've redone all of the postfix configurations on page 5 and things still aren't working. Here's what we've got:

    /etc/postfix/main.cf:
    Code:
    # 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.  The Debian default
    # is /etc/mailname.
    #myorigin = /etc/mailname
    
    smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
    biff = no
    
    # appending .domain is the MUA's job.
    append_dot_mydomain = no
    
    # Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
    #delay_warning_time = 4h
    
    readme_directory = no
    
    # TLS parameters
    smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt
    smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key
    smtpd_use_tls = yes
    smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
    smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache
    
    # See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for
    # information on enabling SSL in the smtp client.
    
    myhostname = ohdweb.protospace.com
    alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
    alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
    myorigin = /etc/mailname
    mydestination = ohdweb.protospace.com,localhost.ohdweb.com,localhost.localdomain,localhost
    relayhost =
    mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
    mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
    mailbox_size_limit = 0
    recipient_delimiter = +
    inet_interfaces = all
    inet_protocols = all
    smtpd_sasl_local_domain =
    smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
    smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
    broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
    smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes
    smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination
    smtpd_tls_auth_only = no
    smtp_use_tls = yes
    smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes
    smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem
    smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1
    smtpd_tls_received_header = yes
    smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s
    tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom
    
    virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable
    
    #mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names
    home_mailbox = Maildir/
    
    /etc/default/saslauthd:
    Code:
    # Settings for saslauthd daemon
    # Please read /usr/share/doc/sasl2-bin/README.Debian for details.
    #
    
    # Should saslauthd run automatically on startup? (default: no)
    START=yes
    
    # Description of this saslauthd instance. Recommended.
    # (suggestion: SASL Authentication Daemon)
    DESC="SASL Authentication Daemon"
    
    # Short name of this saslauthd instance. Strongly recommended.
    # (suggestion: saslauthd)
    NAME="saslauthd"
    
    # Which authentication mechanisms should saslauthd use? (default: pam)
    #
    # Available options in this Debian package:
    # getpwent  -- use the getpwent() library function
    # kerberos5 -- use Kerberos 5
    # pam       -- use PAM
    # rimap     -- use a remote IMAP server
    # shadow    -- use the local shadow password file
    # sasldb    -- use the local sasldb database file
    # ldap      -- use LDAP (configuration is in /etc/saslauthd.conf)
    #
    # Only one option may be used at a time. See the saslauthd man page
    # for more information.
    #
    # Example: MECHANISMS="pam"
    MECHANISMS="pam"
    
    # Additional options for this mechanism. (default: none)
    # See the saslauthd man page for information about mech-specific options.
    MECH_OPTIONS=""
    
    # How many saslauthd processes should we run? (default: 5)
    # A value of 0 will fork a new process for each connection.
    THREADS=5
    
    # Other options (default: -c -m /var/run/saslauthd)
    # Note: You MUST specify the -m option or saslauthd won't run!
    #
    # WARNING: DO NOT SPECIFY THE -d OPTION.
    # The -d option will cause saslauthd to run in the foreground instead of as
    # a daemon. This will PREVENT YOUR SYSTEM FROM BOOTING PROPERLY. If you wish
    # to run saslauthd in debug mode, please run it by hand to be safe.
    #
    # See /usr/share/doc/sasl2-bin/README.Debian for Debian-specific information.
    # See the saslauthd man page and the output of 'saslauthd -h' for general
    # information about these options.
    #
    # Example for postfix users: "-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd"
    #OPTIONS="-c -m /var/run/saslauthd"
    OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r"
    
    root@ohdweb:/# tail /var/log/mail.log
    root@ohdweb:/# tail /var/log/mail.warn
    root@ohdweb:/# tail /var/log/mail.err

    If I telnet localhost 25 then ehlo localhost it hangs (and I have to kill the window).

    The ISPConfig management console shows the SMTP service stopped.

    Please run:

    postfix set-permissions
    postfix upgrade-configuration
    /etc/init.d/postfix restart

    That got the mail server receiving mail (phew!), now to get the SMTP server up and running.

    UPDATE: It's not really working. It did for a moment, then quit.

    UPDATE: It worked for a few minutes (allowing some download of email), but then quit right away.

    UPDATE:ISPConfig show's it online. But nothing is really working.

    Giving the command:
    Code:
    saslauthd -a pam -n 5 -V -c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r -d
    
    doesn't do anything, either (except run in memory).

    ehlo localhost still freezes
    Gives a:
    Code:
    chown: cannot access `/usr/lib/postfix/dict_cdb.so': No such file or directory
    If I su postfix set-permissions there is no error.

    Which exact error message do you get in the mail log when you try to authenticate yourself with a mail client.

    Run:

    Code:
    chown postfix:postfix /var/lib/postfix/smtp_scache.db
    and then restart postfix.

    That seems to have done it! Thank you.
