Hi, I followed the howto to setup postfix/sasl/postfixadmin/mysql on CentOS 5.2, everything works except the auth part, I can use telnet to send email to virtual user in mysql without problem. The only problem is I couldn't do authentication, I got the following error when trying "testsaslauthd -s smtp -u test@mydomain -p mypass -f /var/run/saslauthd/mux": auth.log shows I suspect this is because pam is not authenticating against mysql, so I installed pam_mysql, and changed /etc/pam.d/smtp from to and restarted saslauthd. However testsaslauthd still failed, with a slightly different error in auth.log: Any ideas? Thanks
It's amazing what a good night sleep can do: 1. Enable mysql query logging in /etc/my.cnf 2. Confirmed mysql is being queried when testsaslauthd is run, so pam_mysql is doing its job. 3. Conclusion: password doesn't match is the only explanation. 4. Fix: Check postfixadmin's config.inc.php, $CONF['encrypt'] is set to 'md5crypt', realized this incompatible with pam_mysql's crypt=3, changed it to 'md5', authentication works now!
