http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_postfix_virtual_hosting I've followed the above tutorial and got postfix/dovecot with Mailscanner functioning. I however, have one issue, as this will not be used for local mail only (as the configuration in the howto suggest), and need to be able to allow relaying by authenticated users (on infinite public networks). I have sasl working with smtpd, and it will allow me to authenticate with actual unix users (listed in /etc/passwd), but I cannot seem to get it to work with virtual users. I have been able to locate plenty of tutorials showing how to get sasl/smtpd to work with mysql based configurations, but none with the flat file system that this tutorial uses. Can anyone make a suggestion as to what needs to be configured to allow these virtual users to authenticate with smtpd, and how? W.
No errors, just auth failure. As it's checking against actual unix users, and not virtual users like I want it to. W.
Current main.cf is a hodge-podge of attempts and suggestions from other people. I have replaced the domain names with domain1 and domain2 This currently functions in every respect, other than SMTP authentication only works for actual unix users, instead of the virtual users that I want it to.

In that case I'd try to rebuild the server following the "Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL" tutorials from http://www.howtoforge.com/howtos/email/postfix
