SMTP Auth problem

Now my smtp auth is working and I can send email thru my server. Special thanks to you sir!

I was having similar but odd problems with postfix related to this. I am using SuSE 9.2 and followed the perfect setup instructions. I would get my mail when I opened the client and the web interface worked fine. But if I would hit send/recieve in my client I would get errors.

My mail log shows the exact same errors as yours, but chainging from pam to shadow did not work for me.


I noticed FAM was not loaded so I:

chckconfig --add fam
/etc/init.d/fam start
/etc/init.d/postfix restart

and viola no more errors!

Adding

pwcheck_method: saslauthd

to smtpd.conf solved problem for me. Thanks for the tip.
