Does this mean I have to rebuild postfix with saslauthd support? What I've always found is that postfix can't access the pam authentication schemes if it's running in its normal chroot jail. Go into your /etc/postfix/master.cf file, and edit it so that you see the smtp line look like this: smtp inet n - n - - smtpd The second "n" takes the one part out of the chroot jail, so that it can properly talk to the pam system. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org:2000 To be notified of updates to the web site, send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
