Postfix + saslauthd can't get it to work/(auth?)
Hello,
this is like my 20th time trying to successfully setup a postfix server working, unfortunately, even if i spent many many hours trying and retrying i always failed at it. even google became useless after all the errors i had to deal with.
so here i am hoping my 21st time with the help of an acknowledged community will be successful.
some info you may need:
i am running a box with Debian Lenny 5 installed on it (64bit)
one of the domains pointed at my box and that i want to use as hostname (user@nikooo777.info) is (i'll use something different than the real one as i would like to keep it private) nikooo777.info
my /etc/postfix/main.cf looks like:
PHP Code:
# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version

# line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default

my /etc/default/saslauthd looks like:

#
# Settings for saslauthd daemon
# Please read /usr/share/doc/sasl2-bin/README.Debian for details.
#
# Should saslauthd run automatically on startup? (default: no)
START=yes
# Description of this saslauthd instance. Recommended.
# (suggestion: SASL Authentication Daemon)
DESC="SASL Authentication Daemon"
# Short name of this saslauthd instance. Strongly recommended.
# (suggestion: saslauthd)
NAME="saslauthd"
# Which authentication mechanisms should saslauthd use? (default: pam)
#
# Available options in this Debian package:
# getpwent -- use the getpwent() library function
# kerberos5 -- use Kerberos 5
# pam -- use PAM
# rimap -- use a remote IMAP server
# shadow -- use the local shadow password file
# sasldb -- use the local sasldb database file
# ldap -- use LDAP (configuration is in /etc/saslauthd.conf)
#
# Only one option may be used at a time. See the saslauthd man page
# for more information.
#
# Example: MECHANISMS="pam"
MECHANISMS="shadow"
# Additional options for this mechanism. (default: none)
# See the saslauthd man page for information about mech-specific options.
MECH_OPTIONS=""
# How many saslauthd processes should we run? (default: 5)
# A value of 0 will fork a new process for each connection.
THREADS=5
# Other options (default: -c -m /var/run/saslauthd)
# Note: You MUST specify the -m option or saslauthd won't run!
#
# WARNING: DO NOT SPECIFY THE -d OPTION.
# The -d option will cause saslauthd to run in the foreground instead of as
# a daemon. This will PREVENT YOUR SYSTEM FROM BOOTING PROPERLY. If you wish
# to run saslauthd in debug mode, please run it by hand to be safe.
#
# See /usr/share/doc/sasl2-bin/README.Debian for Debian-specific information.
# See the saslauthd man page and the output of 'saslauthd -h' for general
# information about these options.
#
# Example for postfix users: "-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd"
#OPTIONS="-c -m /var/run/saslauthd"
OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd"

PARAMS="-m ${PWDIR}"
PIDFILE="${PWDIR}/saslauthd.pid"
an info that may be useful:
PHP Code:
products:/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd# ls
cache.flock cache.mmap mux mux.accept saslauthd.pid
i edited line 95 of /etc/init.d/postfix into:
PHP Code:
FILES="etc/localtime etc/services etc/resolv.conf etc/hosts etc/nsswitch.conf etc/sasldb2"
with Microsoft Outlook 2007 when i try to connect it will ask me for the username and the password everytime i press ok,
opening /var/log/mail.info i see this:

i really hope you can help me making it work!
by the way i also installed courier-pop to retrieve my mails which actually won't work too but this is another problem.
sincerely, Niko.
