Postfix + MySQL (FedoraC6) [no applicable SASL mechanisms]

[jpieper]

Hi, i am using Fedora C6 and I tried the Fedora C5 tutorial twice and I always get following message:

May 22 09:27:07 vs2060074 postfix/smtpd[7928]: warning: xsasl_cyrus_server_get_mechanism_list: no applicable SASL mechanisms
May 22 09:27:07 vs2060074 postfix/smtpd[7928]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms
May 22 09:27:08 vs2060074 postfix/master[6014]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 7928 exit status 1
May 22 09:27:08 vs2060074 postfix/master[6014]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling

I think all steps of the given tutorial works fine. There were small things that won´t work but I don´t think that one of these "problems" is causing my actual problem.

I think I´ve found the problem. I had to install cyrus-sasl-plain and/or cyrus-sasl-sql (I installed both).

[root@vs2060074 ~]# telnet localhost 25
