Postfix problems

[BHGR]

Hi,

I have problems with Postfix on ISPConfig 3.0.1.3, OS is CentOS 5.3

Postfix won't send or recieve mail for any user.

Logs say this:

/var/log/maillog

Jun 15 19:13:33 srv1 postfix/smtpd[11888]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this setup?

Thank you.

Did you strictly follow the perfect setup howto for your distribution?
It seems that you didn't setup the sql authentication correctly.

[BHGR]

Yes I did, and also I tried running update.php to rewrite config files, but nothing has changed...

Looks as if the mysql bindings for sasl are missing. Maybe you used some packages from another repository. Please seek for a package on your server that has mysql and sasl in its name.

[BHGR]

I guess this is it:


[root@srv1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep sasl
cyrus-sasl-sql-2.1.22-4
cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.22-4
cyrus-sasl-lib-2.1.22-4
cyrus-sasl-2.1.22-4

[root@srv1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep mysql
perl-DBD-mysql-4.011-1.el5.rf
php-mysql-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
mysql-server-5.0.45-7.el5
mysql-5.0.45-7.el5
mysql-devel-5.0.45-7.el5
courier-authlib-mysql-0.62.1-1
mydns-mysql-1.1.0-1

[BHGR]

and:

[root@srv1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep sql
perl-DBD-mysql-4.011-1.el5.rf
php-mysql-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
php-mssql-5.1.6-15.el5.centos.1

What's in your smtpd.conf?

[BHGR]

[root@srv1 lib]# more /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf 
pwcheck_method: authdaemond
log_level: 3
mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
authdaemond_path:/var/spool/authdaemon/socket

Thank you.

What's the output of

uname -a

?

[BHGR]

[root@srv1 ~]# uname -a
