Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix - SASL LOGIN authentication failed

[lord0815]

Hey there,

if just finished the Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (Fedora Core 5) HowTo and everything works fine so far...

In this case everything means pop3 an receive mails...

Sending mails with an mailclient ends in the log file with an entry like this one:


Oct 30 13:51:06 suse101 postfix/smtpd[31641]: warning: xxx.xxx.de[123.123.123.123]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed
Oct 30 13:51:08 suse101 postfix/smtpd[31641]: warning: xxx.xxx.de[123.123.123.123]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed


I´ve tried some changes in config files but without any success...
The server runs an SuSE 10.1 64bit OS an IMHO thats the problem ;)

I´ve checked everthiny so far but had some problems with the authdaemon part.

Someone got it to fly within SuSE10.1 ??

Help needed...

Thanks a lot - and great work from Falko Timme.

bye

What's the output of
updatedb
locate smtpd.conf and ps aux | grep saslauthd?

BTW, is there a special reason you use SuSE 10.1? In my experience this is not the best distribution (cough, cough...)...

No theres no special reason... I prefer FC5/6 but this rootserver
was preconfigured with suse or debian and the other guy who rent it with me just knows suse....

So i have to live with it and make the best of it.. :/


# locate smtpd.conf
/usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf
/usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf



# ps aux |grep sasl

Any hints?

What's in /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf and /usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf?
