I managed to get SASL working on RH8 out of the box, nearly. There is one Trick ... Postfix is running in chroot! So, you'll have to copy the sasldb file from /etc to /var/spool/postfix/etc/sasldb Or you can create the db file using saslpasswd -c -f /PATH/sasldb -u REALM USER directly! (The realm should be the FQDN) Don't forget to restart postfix after changing anything concerning this file! And for sasl, here is my config file: [root@xxxxxxx]# more /usr/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf pwcheck_method: sasldb That's all ;-) Hav lot of fun :-) And don't forget to check the maillog, if you have some trouble, please mail the output of it, this might be helpful.
