Sendmail SMTP Auth fail for some users on vSite


Hi,

I am working on Ensim pro v4.0 on FC2 I have 6 virtual sites (Name Based) on it.
Ensim uses sendmail and procmail for mail delivery to hosted sites, and utilizes SMTP Auth for every site, every thing with mail was ok.

The biggest virtual site contains 150 users and named domail1.com for example.

Now I am facing that SMTP refuses the Authentication for some users not all, many users are able to login using SMTP Auth, but some can not.

I tried to delete the user who can't login and recreate him, but the same issue for the same user.

Also read about restarting saslauthd , but the same problem also.

The /var/log/messages contains the following 2 lines:
Quote:
Nov 13 23:06:23 emsinhost smtp(pam_unix)[6518]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=username1
Nov 13 23:06:26 emsinhost saslauthd[6518]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=username1@domain1.com] [service=smtp] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]
What I did for the server is ONLY a backup operation for the whole server in the morning, as root user I use the following command:
Quote:
tar -jcf /backup.tar.bz /bin /home /lib /root /etc /sbin /usr /var > Stdout.txt 2>Errout.txt
and I have got some messages in Errout.txt about socket:
Quote:
tar: home/virtual/site34/fst/dev/log: socket ignored
tar: home/virtual/site30/fst/dev/log: socket ignored
tar: home/virtual/site2/fst/dev/log: socket ignored

tar: var/log/httpd/fpcgisock: socket ignored
tar: var/run/saslauthd/mux: socket ignored
tar: var/tmp/webgui.soc: socket ignored
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
That all I did, why some users can not authenticate? Any help please?
