Did you use this guide to install the system (should work for 32bit with little to no modifications): http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...64-ispconfig-3

[AlexRose]

yes, of course. everything else works fine ..

Please post the output of:

grep smtpd /etc/postfix/main.cf

Looks ok.

Please check if all required sasl modules are installed by running:

apt-get install libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-sql

then restart postfix and saslauthd.

[AlexRose]

[root@descarca ~]# yum install libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-sql
No package libsasl2-modules available.
No package libsasl2-modules-sql available.
Nothing to do

i'm using centos 5.3 (32bits)

Ok, sorry. Missed that you run centos.

Please run:

yum search sasl

to check if you have any sasl module related packages in centos available.

[AlexRose]

This is what i get
