Hello List, I've recently been given the task of setting up a mail relay that will allow our mobile users to relay mail through it. I'm going to be using 9.2 Pro for this endeavor. I've spent a little time already getting things set up and reading documentation online on how to get Postfix up and running with SASL and TLS. However, I'm now at a stand-still with a problem I'm having. Postfix won't authenticate with SASL. I've found the postfix configuration file in /etc/sysconfig and have changed the required options in there, and have run the SuSEconfig -module postfix and have been sure to add some test users to the sasl database (I'm using the auxprop method in SASL). I can authenticate using sasldbtest2, but postfix won't authenticate. I've been using the method I've found online 'printf 'username\0username\0password' | mmencode' to get my base64 encoded login string. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? I just get this error when I try to authenticate. It's from my /var/log/mail.warn Mar 18 13:56:50 ein postfix/smtpd[13130]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Can only find author/en (no password) Mar 18 13:56:50 ein postfix/smtpd[13130]: warning: localhost[127.0.0.1]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed I haven't been able to find any truely useful information regarding this error. Thanks in advance.
