I did follow the tutorial and all the discussions about the topic, but somehow I am stuck Everything works just fine, the only thing that doesn't work is sending emails via Thunderbird! SMTP-Auth is selected and configured. When I test my setup with telnet I get the right response: 250-mail.xxx.com 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN 250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN 250 8BITMIME My mail.warn-Log says: Code: Oct 2 17:58:33 localhost postfix/smtpd[27775]: warning: xx-x-xxx-xx.xx.xx.xx[xx.xx.xx.xx]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed Testing saslauthd failes: Code: #testsaslauthd -u [email protected] -p xxx -f /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/mux #0: NO "authentication failed" when I try w/o the socket path: Code: #testsaslauthd -u [email protected] -p xxx #connect() : No such file or directory I checked the config files over and over again. Do you have a clue, where I might find the answer? Thanks for your efforts and replies! Cheers QT
Did you created the following folder: Code: mkdir -p /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd ? grasomega
Yes, I did! Code: server:/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd# ls -al total 3 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Oct 3 10:57 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Aug 25 13:33 .. srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 2 17:41 mux -rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 2 17:41 mux.accept -rw------- 1 root root 6 Oct 2 17:41 saslauthd.pid
Maybe you need to check your password for typos. If everything is okay and it still fails, I'm kinda out of ideas... grasomega
I don't know how many times I checked the login information (on email client && mysql). I also created another user, the same occurs, I can pop mail but I cannot send. It's really weird. But somehow, there must be a problem with my saslauth, because the testsaslauthd does not work. Now I checked the auth.log (/var/log/auth.log), and this is what came out: Code: Oct 3 13:16:39 localhost saslauthd[11294]: (pam_unix) check pass; user unknown Oct 3 13:16:39 localhost saslauthd[11294]: (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= Oct 3 13:16:41 localhost saslauthd[11294]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module Oct 3 13:16:41 localhost saslauthd[11294]: do_auth : auth failure: [[email protected]] [service=imap] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] Does this ring a bell? QT
What about /etc/pam.d/smtp? Is it as per how-to? It should be: Code: auth required pam_mysql.so user=mail_admin passwd=[I]mail_admin_password[/I] host=127.0.0.1 db=mail table=users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=password crypt=1 account sufficient pam_mysql.so user=mail_admin passwd=[I]mail_admin_password [/I]host=127.0.0.1 db=mail table=users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=password crypt=1 grasomega
Yes, it's fine. But I found another problem: the libpam-mysql has not been found, so I installed this one again (it could not be found on my system . And now the 'auth.log' looks like this: Code: Oct 3 13:48:26 localhost saslauthd[26244]: pam_mysql - [B]SELECT returned no result[/B]. Oct 3 13:48:26 localhost saslauthd[26244]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module Oct 3 13:48:26 localhost saslauthd[26244]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=xx] [service=smtp] [realm=xx.com] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] Any clues? QT
Ok. I solved the problem! I did apt-get for the corresponding files/libs and restarted everything. Now it works. No errors. grasomega, thanks for the hints! Sometimes one have to be pushed in the right direction Thanks. QT
It could be related, the error log looks the same to me... If you are sure that you put the right password in every file in the tutorial, then make sure that you installed all the necessary packages. Please check the /etc/pam.d/smtp file. grasomega
