    I have check all the post from here about this issue. Reinstalled Cyrus, commented out from main.cf.

    Still my SMTP auth doesnt work. Here is the warning:

    Your saslauthd/Postfix configuration must be wrong because your system tries to use /etc/sasldb2.
    Did you use any of the "Perfect Setups" from HowtoForge to set up your system?

    Ok. Please redo the Postfix configuration, and make sure you avoid typos.

    I did copy&paste

    Could this be the problem?

    I did settings like I did for 32-bit Linux, but now I have another server with 64-bit Linux. I use maildir with Courier and follow instructions below.

    Do you think I should use UW?


    "Fedora 4 Maildir setup

    Before installing RPM's do 'yum install expect'

    http://www.linux-daemon.de/rpm/fedor...e%204/courier/
    You need Courier libs and Courier Imap wget them to yout /tmp and install 'rpm -ivh' courier libs first and then Courier imap

    Do

    chkconfig --levels 235 sendmail off
    chkconfig --levels 235 postfix on
    chkconfig --levels 235 saslauthd on
    chkconfig --levels 235 courier-imap on
    chkconfig courier-imap on
    /etc/init.d/sendmail stop
    /etc/init.d/postfix start
    /etc/init.d/courier-imap start
    /etc/init.d/saslauthd start
    /etc/init.d/xinetd restart

    Just remember not to install imap on
    apt-get install cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-devel cyrus-sasl-gssapi cyrus-sasl-md5 cyrus-sasl-plain postfix imap <- dont install imap"

    If you use a 64-bit Fedora, then do

    Code:
    echo 'pwcheck_method: saslauthd' > /usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf
echo 'mech_list: plain login' >> /usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf
    instead of

    Code:
    echo 'pwcheck_method: saslauthd' > /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf
echo 'mech_list: plain login' >> /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf
