Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail Fedora 16

[azqnow]

Sirs,

Is a new howto manual available for installation of postfix, squirrelmail on Fedora 16?

I tried to follow http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-us...dora-15-x86_64

im still on the first page and keep on getting conflicts..


Thanks!

Not yet, but it's on my list.

Do yo have an ETA?

I have installed everything on Fedora 16 and it's almost there, but I cannot for the life of me get MySQL SMTP authentication to work. POP3 authenticates just fine.

I keep getting this in my log:

Mar  3 13:43:09 host postfix/smtpd[23453]: xsasl_cyrus_server_next: decoded response: password
Mar  3 13:43:09 host postfix/smtpd[23453]: warning: unknown[192.168.0.2]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: no mechanism available
Mar  3 13:43:09 host postfix/smtpd[23453]: > unknown[192.168.0.2]: 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: no mechanism available
Mar  3 13:43:09 host postfix/smtpd[23453]: smtp_get: EOF

How is Fedora 15 different to 16?

Any idea what could be happening? It seems to me that the plug-ins cannot be found but that's just a guess.

I've been working on this for 3 days solid now and it's driving me nuts

Regards,
Andy

Not sure what's wrong. Did you disable SELinux?

If Fedora is not a requirement, you should consider Debian or Ubuntu.

I figured it out.

Seems I was using some legacy config in my smtpd.conf file:

When I changed this:

pwcheck_method: authdaemond
mech_list: plain login
allow_plaintext: true
auxprop_plugin: mysql
sql_hostnames: 127.0.0.1
sql_user: user
sql_passwd: password
sql_database: mail
sql_select: select password from users where email = '%u'
authdaemond_path: /usr/local/var/spool/authdaemon/socket

to this:

pwcheck_method: authdaemond
log_level: 3
mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
authdaemond_path: /usr/local/var/spool/authdaemon/socket

and then set permissions and did all the other stuff required it worked perfectly.

Seems FC16 is not that much different to FC15 after all.

So, to OP, which bit are you stuck on?
