Copy sample.conf and smtpd.conf to /usr/local/lib/sasl2. 2. Move /usr/lib/sasl2 to /usr/lib/sasl2.old. 3. Create a symlink from /usr/local/lib/sasl2 to /usr/lib/sasl2. > -- content of /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf -- > # SASL application configuration file for SMTP AUTH used by Postfix You use sample.conf to test, right? In the book we created sample.conf as symlink to smtpd.conf. If you do that, I can tell what's in both. Now I don't know if the content of sample.conf is the same as smtpd.conf; they have the same date and size though, so I just presume they are identical. > # Global parameter > log_level: 3 > > # Password verification service > pwcheck_method: auxprop > > # SMTP AUTH mechanisms > mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN CRAM-MD5 > > # auxiliary plugin parameters -> mysql password backend > auxprop_plugin: sql > sql_engine: mysql > sql_hostname: localhost > sql_database: smtpauthdb > sql_user: --- replaced --- > sql_passwd: --- replaced --- Something I can't tell is, if there's whitespace after the values you've added to smtpd.conf. You need to check this yourself. I recall situations where this was the problem. > sql_select: SELECT %p FROM users WHERE username = '%u' AND userrealm = '%r' and auth = '1' You probably want to exchange "%p" for the name of the field that holds the passwords.

Fix the sasl dir stuff and check sample.conf. Then check if it works. If not we will have to dig deeper. p@rick -- The Book of Postfix <http://www.postfix-book.com> saslfinger (debugging SMTP AUTH): <http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/>
