SMTP Authenticate before send

[ianw1974]

I grabbed 32 :D

 

No probs, I can make a 64 bit in vmware and see how it pans out. I'd rather make it the same as you have so at least I know that we have the same environment. Will start again :)

Not sure if auth is working or not, now i'm getting relaying denied when i try to send (to anyone but *@tymnia.net).

 

I'm seeing this in auth.log:

Apr 21 12:24:45 tymnia postfix/smtpd[29051]: sql auxprop plugin using mysql engine

Apr 21 12:24:45 tymnia postfix/smtpd[29051]: auxpropfunc error invalid parameter supplied

Apr 21 12:24:45 tymnia postfix/smtpd[29051]: _sasl_plugin_load failed on sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: ldapdb

Not sure if it's a problem (shouldn't be using ldapdb, should it?)

 

mail.log says:

What's your saslauthd config?

[tyme]

#START=yes
#MECHANISMS="pam"
#SASLAUTHD_OPTS="${SASLAUTH_MECH} -a rimap -r"
#SASLAUTHD_OPTS="${SASLAUTHD_OPTS} -O localhost"
SASLAUTHD_OPTS="-m /var/run/saslauthd -r -a pam"

As you can see I've tried a few different things here.

I messed with a lot of different config options, but everything is working now. Two notes that may be important:

with authenticating over SMTP (via saslauthd) it contacts the IMAP server. I only had IMAP-SSL enabled, by default saslauth wants regular IMAP (on port 143). Specifying the SSL port didn't resolve the problem: I assume there's a config option somewhere to make saslauth use SSL, but I didn't bother doing the research and instead just started up regular imap and things seem to be working find and dandy now.
