Red Hat :: Postfix And Can't Get Cyrus-sasl To Work Completely
Mar 13, 2011
I for some reason can't get Cyrus-sasl to work completely. I have to manually start it via saslauthd -a show if I let it start up itself or do a service saslauthd start or restart testsaslauthd will fail. I need help getting this fixed. I tried setting /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd to shadow instead of Pam but still no luck. Also when I try to login my postfix server I get an error stating that my username or password is incorrect even though it is right and I can receive mail from dovecot.
Slackware 13 64 - full installation Postfix from slackbuilds dot org Dovecot from same
has anyone recompiled Postfix using the Slackbuild script, modifying the script to include support for Cyrus-SASL, OpenLDAP, and MySQL in the build, while retaining Dovecot SASL and TLS? If so I would appreciate it if they could post the CCARGS and AUXLIBS commands. I am having some difficulty getting this working.
I am attempting to enable secure authentication on my homebrew AWS based mail server, by following the very excellent flurdy how-to.However I think the repositories I am attempting to use do not include this software.Oddly enough, an aptitude search finds the packages I want, however even if I copy-paste the name of the software into the install version of the command it turns up nothing.
Code: root@cloud1:~# aptitude search sasl2-bin i sasl2-bin - Cyrus SASL - administration programs for SASL users
I'm running a server with Ubuntu 10.04 and I have installed postfix and courier. The server can recieve mail and I can fetch them using POP, but when I try to send mail it doesn't work. Postfix itself can send email if i telnet from localhost and I am using my ISP as a relay because they block port 25. I'm using outlook 2007 on my client computer and it just says that the server rejects the login attempt and tells me to check my username and password. Postfix listens on port 12 as well because the client connection also has outgoing on port 25 blocked. I have tried to use telnet to connect to the server, and I can connect. This is what I get:

Now what? I've tried searching for the answer but all I can come up with is AUTH PLAIN or AUTH LOGIN, but I don't know what to type after that.
My problem is to get postfix working with a smarthost, to send mails from home with dynamic IP, and which needs authentication. I did exactly the same with Slackware 12.2 (postfix 2.6.2) and it worked. Now I tried to do with 2.6.2 (actual running version is 2.7.0 with the same problem) on Slackware 13 64bit. Following error message occurs around every minute in the maillog:
I installed webmin + postfix + dovecot + sasl2-bin to get a webserver running. I have fixed all the problems, but there is still one. I am totally new to sasl, so I am sorry if I made a stupid mistake.

Thunderbird gives the following error when trying to send mail: Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to the SMTP server mail.virovene.org was lost in the middle of the transaction. Try again later or contact your network administrator. mail.err Apr 28 23:33:18 virovene postfix/smtpd[6264]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms
I'm getting relay access denied to an email outside of my domain. It seems the passwords are authenticating because I'm not getting invalid password prompts.
I have Postfix up and working perfect. It receives and sends email fine with no TLS and SASL but I installed Dovecot and then generated some self signed certificates using 'openssl' and for some reason I can't send from my IMAP server. I get this in my logs:
Code: Mar 3 11:20:45 mail dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<carlos>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.1.1.204, lip=192.168.0.200, TLS Mar 3 11:21:20 mail postfix/smtpd[1386]: connect from tuna.mydomain.tld[10.1.1.204]
I have an issue where postfix is setup to use dovecot auth and as far as I know it works, if i login using telnet to the mail server i can authorize myself y providing the base64 encoded user & password. so if i can login, why cant my email clients. have tried thunderbird and evolution. this is the mail.log relavant entries for sucessful login via telnet

Login by pop or imap works flawlessly that what i dont get. From what i see it SHOULD be working. It it changes things, im using postfixadmin, postfix, dovecot. passwords and info stored in mysql tables. passwords are md5 encrypted. I thought that may be the issue, but that dosnt make sence.
I'm trying to expand my Courier+MySQL+Postfix+PostfixAdmin server to use SASL logins on Postfix so I can relay on my server. After following several guides I still can't get it to work: Postfix logs show the user transcript and end with "Authentication failure" but it does not tell me what told it that the login failed. The messages log show this:
Feb 19 22:48:55 sportlaan-server saslauthd[7254]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=berend] [service=smtp] [realm=mydomain.com] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] Which I don't get because I don't think it should be using PAM... I think...
The setup is similar to this one: http://www.howtoforge.org/virtual_users_postfix_courier_mailscanner_clamav_centos_p6 My SASL config has this in it: /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf pwcheck_method: saslauthd log_level: 3 authdaemond_path: /var/spool/authdaemon/socket mech_list: plain login
I'm using postfix with unix accounts for a while now and I just realized today that SASL authentication, instead of working only with the USERNAME, it also works if the username is followed by ANYDOMAIN.COM
So, let's say I have the following UNIX users: tim, mike, john. If I set the Outgoing Username:[URL]..(where whatever.com can be any name you can think of) IT WORKS, even though it shouldn't, it should only work with tim, mike and john without any domain name. Does anyone know what might cause this and what's the workaround to this problem?
When I send an email via TLS I see the following log entries.
Code: Oct 14 11:53:06 ns2 postfix/smtpd[11372]: connect from unknown[172.16.1.159] Oct 14 11:53:06 ns2 postfix/smtpd[11372]: setting up TLS connection from unknown[172.16.1.159] [Code]....
What I'm really curious about is there is an intial TLS connection with a 256 bit cipher, but then.. The last entry states "sasl_method=PLAIN" - so surely this is not encrypted? Or am I misunderstanding how it works?
I am re setting up a server of mine running red hat enterprise Linux server 6 and I had all of this working befor but for some reason I had troubles getting sasl to work and now when I login my smtp server I get an error stating that my username or password is incorrect though I am sure I am entering both correctly. Would anyone know what could be happening? I have been spending days on the web looking for the solution and only went from sasl not working when started as a service to this. For some reason I can't use Pam with saslauthd and had to use shadow instead of which from what I hear I get to use better methods of secure authentication with smtp
I was reading over and checking the How to section on the Wiki for Postfix TLS / SASL. I followed it completely and everything seems to be working fine however I am confused about the following section:
smtpd_tls_security_level = may smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/pki/tls/private/mail.example.com.key smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/pki/tls/certs/mail.example.com.cert[code].....
I'm running SUSE linux Server version 11. I want to configure mail server with postfix & cyrus-imap. For that, i have read many documents in Internet by i met issues. I'm running DNS in this server & it's ok Now I cannont send mail through command line.
I have been faithfully following the postfix/sasl/etc install docs from [URL] and seem to have hit a minor snag with SASL authentication for SMTP. KMail cryptically leaves me with a generic auth fail notice and tailing the mail logs gives me
recently we decided to make our own panel (like Plesk or cPanel) but for Ubuntu and it will be licenced under GPL (like any other professional sofware).want to make a panel not only that fits our needs but also the needs of other system administrators and domain owners. We researched other panels and found out that non of them has security/look/ease of use in one package. Bad codig is another problem found in other panels.I made a short overwiev of what I think we have to have in the beginning.I Security :1. Completely chroot enviornoment where every single service is in chroot mode (bind,mysql, postfix, .... )2. Easily managed IPtables trough web-based interface. 3. Coding rules has to be strict.
II Software selection : 1. MTA - Postfix 2. POP - dovecot
make install then i got this error: postfix: fatal: chdir(/usr/libexec/postfix): No such file or directory make: *** [install] Error 1 I don't understand why it's checking the usr/libexec folder for the daemons although I've set the folder to /opt/product/postfix-2.6.5/libexec in the makefile. Here is also the cat of my makedefs.out:
I've had sound problems for a very long time with Ubuntu. It once worked fine. Then it got distorted, but I used headfones so that solved that. But now it seems its completely disfunctional. The sound doesn't work at all.
I upgraded to fedora 13 from fedora 11. i used the preupgrade method. i am running dual boot with win7 as 2nd OS after downloading all packages, the preupgrade asked to reboot. after bootloader started, the screen haults and displays "FINDING STORAGE DEVICES" and doesnot go any further. I hae tried both options of enabling and disabling sata option, but it didn't worked.
I'm using ubuntu, not seeing any errors within the logs so I'm looking for some advice on why MailScanner is starting postfix? (i.e. if both are stopped, I should only need to start MailScanner instead of both applications, correct?)
Looking through the MailScanner.conf I so see this section code...
Could someone tell me what is the difference between Cyrus and courier? I am trying to buuld an imap server to serve virtual users and to work with postfix.
I am experiencing a Cyrus-SASL v2.1.23 and PAM authentication issue. I installed linux PAM 1.1.3 on slackware linux 13.1 x86 64bit. On installing cyrus, i am unable to find the PAM authentiaction mechanism.
