So i'm at it again. I started from scratch, and am back to a problem setting up a postfix mail server. Everything works perfectly in receiving mail and the imap/pop connections to get the mail. I'm having an issue with SMTP, however, and I'm getting an error in my logs. However, it's a different error than the last time I tried this. Below are my log entries and saslfinger output. Any assistance in a direction to move would be much appreciated! Thanks! -dak MAIL.LOG -------------- Apr 14 11:27:11 dhsmail postfix/smtpd[15718]: connect from user-6b930d.user.msu.edu[35.10.89.124] Apr 14 11:27:11 dhsmail postfix/smtpd[15718]: warning: SASL authentication failure: no secret in database Apr 14 11:27:11 dhsmail postfix/smtpd[15718]: warning: user-6b930d.user.msu.edu[35.10.89.124]: SASL CRAM-MD5 authentication failed: authentication failure Apr 14 11:27:11 dhsmail postfix/smtpd[15718]: lost connection after AUTH from user-6b930d.user.msu.edu[35.10.89.124] Apr 14 11:27:11 dhsmail postfix/smtpd[15718]: disconnect from user-6b930d.user.msu.edu[35.10.89.124] AUTH.LOG --------------- Apr 14 11:37:16 dhsmail postfix/smtpd[15969]: sql_select option missing Apr 14 11:37:16 dhsmail postfix/smtpd[15969]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available Apr 14 11:37:16 dhsmail postfix/smtpd[15969]: _sasl_plugin_load failed on sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: sql and here is my saslfinger output.... ---------------------------------------------- saslfinger -
