Hi, I'm trying to setup sasl with my postfix-server, running Suse10.1. I have a virtual domain stored in MySql. The usernames are the e-mail addresses of the users : user@ace-electronics.be In /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf I have : pwcheck_method: saslauthd -a pam -n mech_list: plain login In /etc/pam.d/smtp I have : auth required pam_mysql.so user=postfixuser passwd=secret db=postfixdb table=usertable usercolumn=username passwordcolumn=password crypt=1 If I try testsaslauthd -s smtp -u 'k.lelong@ace-electronics.be' -p 'password' it fails. If I put verbosity on in /etc/pam.d/smtp, I see that pam_mysql authenticates, but pam itself seems to fail. In messages I get : Oct 24 17:13:16 lace1 saslauthd[4145]: pam_mysql - SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = 'k.lelong@ace-electronics.be' Oct 24 17:13:16 lace1 saslauthd[4145]: pam_mysql - pam_mysql_sql_log() called.

If I try telnet smtp 25 auth plain <mimencoded username and password> it fails but in the mysql-log I see only k.lelong as the username, the domain name disappeared. In main.cf I have : smtpd_sasl_local_domain = postconf -n has no smtpd_sasl_local_domain. How can I recover the domainname ? Any help much appreciated. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong R&D Manager ACE electronics n.v.
