SASL Authentical Error with Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL An

[atjensen11]

I too followed the Virtual User How-To for Ubuntu 8.04 located here. I have read several other threads that are similar to my problem, but haven't been exactly the same. I too am getting the relay access denied error, but I have a SASL Login authentication error in my logs.

Specifically, it says Permission denied.

Thanks.

I think you forgot to do this:

adduser postfix sasl

( http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-us...-ubuntu8.04-p2 )

Restart Postfix and saslaithd afterwards.

Thanks Falko. That did the trick. I don't know how I missed that.
