Today I ran an apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade, and two packages were updated: libssl0.9.8 openssl Since this, SMTP auth has stopped working with the following message in /var/log/mail.info: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure This is a standard ISPConfig 3.0.4.6 system on Debian Squeeze. Any ideas?
It might be that the debian update overwrote a config file. Please rerun the ispconfig by following the manual update instructions here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57659 and choose to reconfigure services during update.
Just managed to fix the problem by restarting sasauthd: /etc/init.d/saslauthd restart Weird, now all our clients can send email again via SMTP. Perhaps the package upgrade didn't restart saslauthd.
Can confirm there's an issue in latest debian repository updates. Looks like this is caused by libssl / openssl package update breaking something in saslauthd unless you restart it manually.
Download the ispconfig tar.gz again, unpack it and run the update.php script in the install folder. Choose to reconfigure services during update. Some users reported that this fixed the issue.
Thank you ! /etc/init.d/saslauthd restart works like a charm ! Thank you ! Regards, Orlando Tempobono
