It's a fresh etch install and mail fails to start working for a login , password file issue , postfix doesn't see /etc/passwd maybe it is chrooted ! I have a check ! it's not ! i don't understand i show you pam i have a pop3 file but i have courier-pop-ssl waiting for logins , so i tried make one myself , i don't know much pam , i will go to check !!!
here my pop3:

Code:

auth            required       pam_unix.so      nullok
account         required       pam_unix.so
password        required       pam_unix.so
session         required       pam_unix.so

smtp:

Code:

# Note that this file is used for any unspecified service; for example
#if /etc/pam.d/cron  specifies no session modules but cron calls
#pam_open_session, the session module out of /etc/pam.d/other is
#used.  If you really want nothing to happen then use pam_permit.so or
#pam_deny.so as appropriate.

# We fall back to the system default in /etc/pam.d/common-*
#

@include common-auth
@include common-account
@include common-password
@include common-session

that's the pop-ssl i did but i don't think it is correct :

Code:

auth            required       pam_unix.so      nullok
account         required       pam_unix.so
password        required       pam_unix.so
session         required       pam_unix.so
@include common-password

They all look the same to me , any help ... suggestion ?

 

No it's the simplest form of postfix tls and courier-pop-ssl which i used for years and i have this issue also logging in with ssh so i think it's not just a postfix problem not seeing /etc/passwd , no virtual users . Mails get delivered in the mailbox , strange !!!

 

What are the outputs of

Code:

df -h

and

Code:

ls -la /etc/pam.d

?

 

That's the out of the two commands you asked for :

Telnet testing from another host in LAN:

 

If you're using system users, then *@gabrix.ath.cx is not a valid username.

 

Is it because this variable ?

should it be $myhostname ? or empty ?
I post you my main.cf:

and my smtpd.conf:

it's long time i don't get over this!

 

No - you're simply using a wrong username in your email client (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.).

 

do you know the username i'm using ? there i see only an * !!!

 

It's ages i have been using that username followed by @$mydomain maybe the problem is somewhere else !I know he didn't mean the username itself and i don't use postfix for intranet mail but mostly i use it for outbound emails anyway i give an another example with client mutt connecting from a different host in lan:

and tha's how courier-authdaemon deals the login:

In courier-authdaemon i have

and the debug directive set to the top 2 ......
That's logs taken after a connection outside my lan ...

I was looking to this guide about what domains to receive mail for and what clients to relay mail for here http://www.postfix.org/basic.html because he should look at the username 's database without the domain suffix instead it looks like it looks at the username with the domain as a whole ...

 

What's in /etc/courier/authmysqlrc?

 

Do you see the logs ? i'm using pam auth !
The openssl client gave this error :

did you mean authdaemonrc ?
