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 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 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'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.
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
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 am facing problem in postfix. I am using centos5.2.My postfix was running well but some strange problem it failed today.after that I wanted to restart postfix service , it does not restrat.

why no matter what email I send to a user I get this error relay1 postfix/local[4023]: 75941291D4: to=<username@domainname.com>, relay=local, delay=0.14, delays=0.07/0.02/0/0.05, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "username")
I followed the Wiki guide for configuring my Postfix server for SASL / TLS. I don't get any errors and I assume it's working but when I try and test SASL (saslauthd), I don't get the response noted according to the Wiki and I don't understand why.
I am having some trouble with Cyrus SASL and OpenLDAP. I tried to configure OpenLDAP using SASL for all conection but I cannot map the SASL-DN to OpenLDAP's DN. Below is my configuration file, slapd.conf

After I finished the configuration, I try to use ldapsearch tool to verify, but I cannot:
Tearing my hair out on this one a little bit, having problems sending message from web based PHP form to user inbox.I keep getting: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender<me@mydomain.co.uk>: Host or domain name not found.

I checked relay system using IP address it working gr8, but I want to implement user based authorization in relay server. but no idea where to make changes in sendmail.mc.. and my outlook asking for password again and again..whats role of openssl in user based authentication ?
We have CentOS 5.3 and are using sendmail for outbound emails. We are trying to switch over to authsmtp service. Authsmtp requires sendmail built with SASL suport.
How do I find out if my sendmail has been built with SASL support? If it is not, is it easy to build it with SASL support?
is there any HOWTO for configuring Webmin Postfix server with multiple postfix virtual hosts? Seems to be a tough challenge to set it up without any easy manual..
so i set out to change the default smtp port the server uses because my ISP blocks port 25 and i need the email to work in outlook. this morning i could receive email, but not send it. so i did some research and thought that i needed to edit the master.cf file in /etc/postfix/ by commenting out this line: smtp inet n - n - - smtpd -oand replace it with587 inet n - n - - smtpd (587 being the port i want to use)somewhere along the lines postfix server stopped running and now i cannot get it to start.if i try using SSH it crashes immediately and if i restart it in simple control panel nothing happens
