You're using Fedora Core 4, but the tutorial was written for Debian Sarge. The problem is that some of the paths differ on FC4. You could run Code: updatedb and then use Code: locate <file> to find out where the searched file is on FC4.
I have the same problem too After looking at the posts here to find out why mine does not work I have found I am Missing /etc/pam.d/smtp completely I am following the howto "The Perfect Setup - Debian Sarge (3.1)" an have built the box from scratch I have been able to log in with an IMAP Client, but cannot send email Where can i get this file, or what is in it so I can create it anew? Thanks KenP
You can copy the file from the tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier_p2
I experiance the same problems: Mails can bei read and be sent to the server, but they can't be sent from my Computer and my Outlook program to the server; the authentification will fail. I set up a completely new server with Debian 3.1 and after setup I immediately started with the "Perfect Debian Sarge Setup" by Falko. Also, I installed ISPconfig. This is my main.cf: Code: # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU) biff = no # appending .domain is the MUA's job. append_dot_mydomain = no # Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings #delay_warning_time = 4h myhostname = titania.kriegshammer.info alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases myorigin = /etc/mailname #mydestination = titania.kriegshammer.info, localhost.kriegshammer.info, localhost relayhost = mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + inet_interfaces = all smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination smtpd_tls_auth_only = no smtp_use_tls = yes smtpd_use_tls = yes smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt 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 This is my /etc/default/saslauthd: Code: # This needs to be uncommented before saslauthd will be run automatically START=yes PARAMS="-m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r" # You must specify the authentication mechanisms you wish to use. # This defaults to "pam" for PAM support, but may also include # "shadow" or "sasldb", like this: # MECHANISMS="pam shadow" MECHANISMS="pam" /etc/init.d/saslauthd restart --> it says, the sasl demon is not running: Code: Stopping SASL Authentication Daemon: (not running). Starting SASL Authentication Daemon: (failed). But ps aux | grep sasl --> it says, that saslauth IS running: Code: titania:/etc/postfix# ps aux | grep sasl root 2073 0.0 0.1 34900 2396 ?

Also, there is no /etc/pam.d/smpt included in the "perfect debian 3.1 setup guide"... you can't simply copy the one from the other tutorial, because it uses mysql auth, and this one doesn't. I have no clue how to solve this ... Maybe it would be good to use shadow instead of pam, but I don't know how to do this... Can you help us with this issue please, falko?
So I guess you're talking about the Debian Sarge "Perfect Setup" and not about virtual hosting with Postfix and MySQL (that's what the other guy had problems with)? Both tutorials handle mail totally different and are not comaptible with each other! What's in your mail log when you try to send a mail from Outlook? Did you enable "Server requires authentication." in your email client?
