Checking the Log from mail i noticed this error and dont know how to fix it:

Code:

I did:

apt-get -y install sasl2-bin

Then i set

START=yes
/etc/default/saslauthd

And the problem persist.

The i followed this guide:

http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix-d...private-auth-failed-no-such-file-or-directory

But no luck, any hint please?

 

I`m using Debian 6

 

Hey,

Instead continue the try to fix this issue on the other post:

http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58453

I back to this one for people can find the solution fast because the topic name.
I fixed this error:

In a new fresh installation trying again the multiple servers setup, after log as root before install anything on mail server i did:

apt-get remove libsasl2-2

Then i followed the entire guide and worked without SASL erros.

Now i`m trying to enable the disabled things, got 3 working after read this topic:

http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5046

Now i`m focusing on fix those things:

I have no idea what those messages means, but this one:

OS_Fingerprint code NOT loaded

I guess is because my host (I`m using debian as mailserver inside of vmware) have an fingerprint reader, so debian would have detected it and is missing an setup, if is it i will ignore this message and search how to fix the other ones

Note: Removing libsasl2-2, the ISPConfig show me more stuff on install, so my guess is the setup look for libsas and if found try setup the things in an way, if not find he set the things for dovecot, i dindt read the installer script, just guessing.
As more stuff i get for example:
Setting Mailman (I dont have mailman because i dont wanna 2 apache - 1 on webserver / 1 mailserver - and dindt found an guide to use mailman out of mailserver) - This never poped before ...

And now seems dovecot is ok:

netstat -tap | grep pop

But on this the result still strange:

netstat -tap | grep smtp

Is normal show 2496/master or should be 2496/postfix?

 

On 4th day of researches, i got some help on experts exchange for some of those erros, i will update my findings, but this part is very fun:

The lack of knowledge make me say this mess, lmao, cant beliviet...
I discovered the OS fingerprint is an app to detect the OS runing in an IP

To enable this with default packages:

Add

Note: Not sure if is to be localhost (127.0.0.1) or your LAN IP (192.168.*.* or 10.0..*.*), i`m using localhost since i saw this way on net, if someone know the right please to use here, please speak

restart the service an check the log, will be loaded.

or you can use (replacing the old ones) the lastest version (out of the repo thanks for noci on expertsexchange)

ANTI-VIRUS
ANTI-SPAM
ANTI-SPAM-SA

ANTI-SPAM-EXT code NOT loaded
ANTI-SPAM-C code NOT loaded

"is the use of the spamc program of spamassassin if spamassassin is on a remote system"
Once more time thanks for noci on experts exchange, i dont gonna use spamassassin in a remote system, so now i can relax about this message, since i got the description what this means...


BSMTP-out proto code NOT loaded

"is a module that tries to deliver mail directly and if it fails it writes the mail to a file. If the mail does get deliverd all pending mails from the file are sent too.
[ For the use by dialup users that want an SMTP feed in stead of POP/IMAP ]"
Once more time thanks for noci on experts exchange, seems i dont gonna need, still dont got how this work, but seems useless to me, ignoring now too.


Pipe-out proto code NOT loaded

Seems is an way to make the mail verification more fast, passing 2 way instead 3, using pipes, seems need a lot of work to setup it, and i dont think this worth the efforts (for me as user) since change lot of defaults files (worring about an update of ISPConfig change those files too).


Lookup::LDAP code NOT loaded

Seems this is for LDAP authentication protocol, i dont will need it, ignoring too.

DKIM code NOT loaded

http://www.faqforge.com/linux/how-to-enable-dkim-email-signatures-in-amavisd-new-and-ispconfig-3/
Working pretty nice


The next messages i still without info about, gonna research more about those, if someone know what mean and can explain, or show how to fix, i gonna be very gratefull
