Postfix problems

[BHGR]

Hi,

I have problems with Postfix on ISPConfig 3.0.1.3, OS is CentOS 5.3

Postfix won't send or recieve mail for any user.

Logs say this:

Jun 15 19:13:33 srv1 postfix/smtpd[11888]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this setup?

Thank you.

Did you strictly follow the perfect setup howto for your distribution?
It seems that you didn't setup the sql authentication correctly.

[BHGR]

Yes I did, and also I tried running update.php to rewrite config files, but nothing has changed...

Looks as if the mysql bindings for sasl are missing. Maybe you used some packages from another repository. Please seek for a package on your server that has mysql and sasl in its name.

[BHGR]

I guess this is it:


[root@srv1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep sasl
cyrus-sasl-sql-2.1.22-4
cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.22-4
cyrus-sasl-lib-2.1.22-4
cyrus-sasl-2.1.22-4

[root@srv1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep mysql
perl-DBD-mysql-4.011-1.el5.rf
php-mysql-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
mysql-server-5.0.45-7.el5
mysql-5.0.45-7.el5
mysql-devel-5.0.45-7.el5
courier-authlib-mysql-0.62.1-1
mydns-mysql-1.1.0-1

[BHGR]

and:

[root@srv1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep sql
perl-DBD-mysql-4.011-1.el5.rf
php-mysql-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
php-mssql-5.1.6-15.el5.centos.1

What's in your smtpd.conf?

[BHGR]

[root@srv1 lib]# more /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf
pwcheck_method: authdaemond
log_level: 3
mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
authdaemond_path:/var/spool/authdaemon/socket




Thank you.

What's the output of uname -a?

[BHGR]

[root@srv1 ~]# uname -a
Linux srv1.domain.com 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.028stab062.3 #1 SMP Sun May 10 18:54:51 MSD 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Did you use this tutorial to set up the system? http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.3-x86_64-ispconfig-3
Should work for 32bit systems as well (maybe there are one or two differences).

[BHGR]

I used 5.2 32bit tutorial, with some modifications (used 5.3 repos), source rpms were compiled OK...

[falko]

As far as I remember, the 5.3 guide differs a little bit from the 5.2 guide. Please try the 5.3 guide.

Hi,

I reinstalled ISPConfig and again I get the same message:
