Yes. understood what you were trying to do Koenraad, its just that it is not the normal way to do it, and most clients don't even pass the email address when authenticating. They pass a name and password pair. If the client is not supplying the domain portion of the email address for authentication there is no reliable way of getting it. -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Actually, the name/password-pair _is_ the e-mail-address and the e-mail-password, I don't want to manage two pieces of credentials. In the client (Thunderbird) I set the smtp-authentication to the e-mail-address and e-mail-password. But on the server only the "username" gets through, everything after that, including the @, is lost. In Thunderbird I set the username to "username@mydomain.be" and pam-mysql tries to verify "username". I have this working fine on another server, but that's running Suse 10.1. I suspect pam-mysql, but I don't know how to fix this. Would it be possible to see what postfix sends to pam-mysql ?

Answering my own question after a long search :

start saslauthd with the -r switch. So in /etc/init.d/saslauthd the start-case becomes : /sbin/startproc $AUTHD_BIN -a $SASLAUTHD_AUTHMECH -n $SASLAUTHD_THREADS -r > /dev/null 2>&1

-r means saslauthd will add the realm to the user, so the user becomes 'user@realm'. In this case the realm is the domain-name of the email-address.

I'm glad you were able to figure it out. :) Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
