postfix sasl problem

[alte94]

Hello,

Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail -Ubuntu 8.04
Great post but after reading tons of posts for 5 days, I'm stuck with postfix (and maybe mysql) authentication. Everything goes fine with courier.

If someone can tell me what happens ...

root@c6po:/srv# testsaslauthd -u root -p
0: OK "Success."
root@c6po:/srv# testsaslauthd -u test -p
0: NO "authentication failed"

Just tell me which config file you need and'll post it.

TIA

I post saslfinger results in order to help diag.
Curiously, when using squirrelmail, I'm able to send and receive mail to and from internal and external domains.

What's the output of

uname -a

?

Did you compare all your configuration files with the ones from the tutorial?

If you're talking about the 6 /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual* files, the answer is yes. Chmoded as required as well.

I really don't understand how it can work like a charm when using squirrelmail and not working with Thunderbird (though pop works with no pb at all). Is it due to the fact that squirrel is being considered as sending from localhost ?

Thank you for your help

Please also check the saslauthd configuration and /etc/postfix/main.cf.
