I have been trying to set up Postfix on our local server. We want
to relay our mail to a server in the UK by SMTP Auth I have installed SASL on
our Mandrake 9.0 server and set up SASL support in Postfix with the following
lines in main.cf
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/saslpass
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
These lines where taken directly from the relays own notes. I have checked and
we have generated a saslpass.db and saslpass has the correct info. The
main.cf file points to the correct file and the file permissions are the same
as on all the other hash files. However when the server try to contact the
relay we get:
Feb 4 09:57:11 zeus postfix/smtp[20496]: 8B9191FCFFE:
to=<kphilp at gofree.indigo.ie>, relay=smtp.uklinux.net[80.84.72.32],
delay=1236, status=deferred (Authentication failed: cannot SASL authenticate
to server smtp.uklinux.net[80.84.72.32]: no mechanism available)
Any ideas what we are doing wrong?
Kevin.
