Hi, thanks for the great tutorial on the mail server setup. However i cannot authenticate when sending emails. i keep getting this error in my mail.log Code: Aug 13 11:11:55 mail postfix/smtpd[18307]: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory Aug 13 11:11:55 mail postfix/smtpd[18307]: warning: 87-194-161-149.bethere.co.uk[87.194.161.149]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: generic failure /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf Code: pwcheck_method: saslauthd mech_list: plain login allow_plaintext: true auxprop_plugin: mysql sql_hostnames: 127.0.0.1 sql_user: user sql_passwd: password sql_database: mail sql_select: select password from users where email = '%u' mech_list: plain login pwcheck_method: saslauthd /etc/default/saslauthd Code: START=yes PARAMS="-m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r" PIDFILE="/var/spool/postfix/var/run/${NAME}/saslauthd.pid" MECHANISMS="pam" MECH_OPTIONS="" THREADS=5 OPTIONS="-c" /etc/pam.d/smtp Code: auth required pam_mysql.so user=user passwd=password host=127.0.0.1 db=mail table=users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=password crypt=1 account sufficient pam_mysql.so user=user passwd=password host=127.0.0.1 db=mail table=users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=password crypt=1 /etc/postfix/main.cf Code: smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu) biff = no append_dot_mydomain = no smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.cert smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.key smtpd_use_tls = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtpd_scache smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtp_scache smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf smtpd_sasl_path = smtpd myhostname = mail.eccemedia.com alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases myorigin = /etc/mailname mydestination = mail.eccemedia.com, localhost, localhost.localdomain relayhost = mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + inet_interfaces = all virtual_alias_domains = virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf, mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination transport_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf virtual_create_maildirsize = yes virtual_mailbox_extended = yes virtual_overquota_bounce = yes proxy_read_maps = $local_recipient_maps $mydestination $virtual_alias_maps $virtual_alias_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_mailbox_domains $relay_recipient_maps $relay_domains $canonical_maps $sender_canonical_maps $recipient_canonical_maps $relocated_maps $transport_maps $mynetworks $virtual_mailbox_limit_maps content_filter = amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024 receive_override_options = no_address_mappings home_mailbox = Maildir/ mailbox_command = I have read some of the threads on here and none have seemed to help my situation. does anyone have any idea what i have done wrong?

I have the same issue.... I followed the ... http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier_ubuntu_edgy Tutorial on ubuntu fiesty, and pretty much did a copy and paste of everything except the portion for quota, and anything related to quota. Code: Aug 14 01:14:34 classicaddy postfix/smtpd[12723]: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory Aug 14 01:14:34 classicaddy postfix/smtpd[12723]: warning: removedmyiphostname.net[myip]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: generic failure
Hi i finally got it working. i changed my /etc/default/saslauthd to Code: # # Settings for saslauthd daemon # # Should saslauthd run automatically on startup? (default: no) START=yes # 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) # See the saslauthd man page for information about these options. # # Example for postfix users: "-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd" # Note: See /usr/share/doc/sasl2-bin/README.Debian OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r" then instead of restarting the saslauthd daemon i did Code: sudo /etc/init.d/saslauthd stop sudo /etc/init.d/saslauthd start
