_sasl_plugin_load failed on sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: sql

[gpf]

thanks for the great docs, very well done and much appreciated.

I'm working with Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (+ SMTP-AUTH, Quota, SpamAssassin, ClamAV) at http://howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier

I'm setting it up on a fresh, clean, updated install of Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger.

I've read through about six related threads in various threads on these forums, but i'm no closer to success, hence the post.

I strayed from Howto by omitting everything quota related, but otherwise all remains the same.

I have some repeated errors in the auth log which don't seem to be causing any functional problems that i've noticed. should i worry about them or shall i just press on and know they're there for me to read when i'm bored?

Here is the auth.log snippet which is repeated over and over both when mail is flowing in both directions and when it is not:

my /etc/default/saslauthd looks like this:
# This needs to be uncommented before saslauthd will be run automatically
START=yes

I have upgraded from workaround.org tutorial and skiped quota patch and quota settings

[falko]

Did you have a look at the links I posted above?

[one]

I read all forum posts, search on google but nothing helps me :( emails works perfectly except posted errors in auth.log

postconf -d | grep mail_version
mail_version = 2.1.5

[falko]

Does your /etc/pam.d/smtp look exactly as the one from the tutorial? Maybe you made a typo somewhere.

[one]

cat /etc/pam.d/smtp
auth required pam_mysql.so user=mail_admin passwd=*** host=127.0.0.1 db=mail table=users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=password crypt=1
account sufficient pam_mysql.so user=mail_admin passwd=*** host=127.0.0.1 db=mail table=users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=password crypt=1

[falko]

Can you compare all of your settings with those from the tutorial? Maybe it's a small typo somewhere, or the format of your configuration files is wrong...

[tornhult]

I have the exact same problem. Or i shouldn't say problem since its just a minor annoyance in the log files. But i'm very curious as to find out what's really causing it.

And need i mention that i'm a linux newbie, but have followed the howto right to the letter. I have also gone over the .conf files to check for spelling errors.

What's in your log files? Is the system still working despite these entries in the log files?

That seems to be ok, although I haven't compared the files letter for letter (I hope you did).
Is your system working despite the warnings in the logs?

system is working

Then forget about the warnings. :)

Hi,

Think I have resolved the problem with postfix/smtpd.conf

pwcheck_method: saslauthd auxprop
mech_list: plain login
allow_plaintext: true
auxprop_plugin: mysql
sql_hostnames: localhost
sql_user: some_dbase
sql_passwd: password
sql_database: some_dbase
sql_select: select password from users where email = '%u'

logcheck gives now:
postfix/smtpd: sql auxprop plugin using mysql engine

I hope falco can confirm...
