You need to configure what you want a different way. # /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf pwcheck_method: saslauthd mech_list: plain login Then start saslauthd like this: saslauthd -a pam <other options> > And my /etc/pam.d/smtp looks like > auth required pam_mysql.so user=postfix passwd=secret db=postfixdb > table=users usercolumn=id passwdcolumn=password crypt=0 If you don't use crypted passwords in the database you might as well use the sql auxprop plugin. Then you can additionaly use the shared-secret mechanisms CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM. > Still got the same /etc/sasldb2 error in my mail.err log > SASL authentication problem: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2 sasldb is the default plugin. Cyrus SASL doesn't check your config, it tries to use pam and since it doesn't work, it tries sasldb. Since that isn't configured it fails BUT this gets logged. p@rick -- The Book of Postfix <http://www.postfix-book.com> saslfinger (debugging SMTP AUTH): <http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/>
