I'm following this howto;

POSTFIX

CYRUS_SASL
http://www.postfixvirtual.net/postfi...html#cyrussasl

building the mail server. All packages were compiled from sources.

Version;
postfix-2.5.5.tar.gz

I have tried building Postfix Virtual by following other 3 howtos before, all packages download on Debian repo. After finish all servers can't work properly. This is my 4th round.

I think I have to adjust the options on configuring postfix during installation. Any idea? TIA

And did you check the location of the various files in the postfix make (eg /usr/local/include/sasl)?

billymayday · 11-05-2008, 04:14 AM

That howto is for a much older version of postfix. You really should study the docs that came in the tarball to see if you can find any hints on enabling sasl

Edit - have a look in postfix-2.5.5/README_FILES/SASL_README

I'm not absolutely sure. However if there is no such files/directory it complains.

Most times I won't just copy/paste the command on console if having path, e.g.;

mkdir /usr/local/vmail

I did [tab] /usr/lo...

allowing it to find its path first before typing "vmail"

But for coping the rule on main.cf
relocated_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-relocated.cf

[tab] /etc/po.... doesn't work

as an example

I'm now comparing the option on config at installation;

POSTFIX
http://www.postfixvirtual.net/postfi...l.html#postfix

Code:

$ make makefiles 'CCARGS=-DHAS_MYSQL \
-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql  -DUSE_SASL_AUTH \
-I/usr/local/include/sasl -I/usr/local/bdb/include \
-DUSE_TLS -I/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl ' \
  'AUXLIBS=-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient \
-lz -lm -L/usr/local/lib -lsasl2  -L/usr/local/bdb/lib\
-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto'
#make install

On
Building Postfix with Cyrus SASL support
http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html#build_postfix
(for Cyrus SASL version 2.1.x):

Code:

    % make tidy # if you have left-over files from a previous build
    % make makefiles CCARGS="-DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL \
        -I/usr/local/include/sasl" AUXLIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -lsasl2"

and;

Cyrus SASL configuration for the Postfix SMTP server
http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html#build_postfix

Code:

/etc/postfix/main.cf:
    # Postfix 2.3 and later
    smtpd_sasl_path = smtpd
    # Postfix < 2.3
    smtpd_sasl_application_name = smtpd

According to the howto which I'm following they are missing;

# grep smtpd_sasl_path /etc/postfix/main.cf
# grep smtpd_sasl2_path /etc/postfix/main.cf
Both no print out

Code:

 (Cyrus SASL version 2.1.x)

Did you see my edit above - I think you were posting when I made it.

billymayday · 11-05-2008, 04:37 AM

Code:

These instructions assume that you build Postfix from source code as described
in the INSTALL document. Some modification may be required if you build Postfix
from a vendor-specific source package.

The following assumes that the Cyrus SASL include files are in /usr/local/
include, and that the Cyrus SASL libraries are in /usr/local/lib.

On some systems this generates the necessary Makefile definitions:

(for Cyrus SASL version 1.5.x):

    % make tidy # if you have left-over files from a previous build
    % make makefiles CCARGS="-DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL \
        -I/usr/local/include" AUXLIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -lsasl"

(for Cyrus SASL version 2.1.x):

    % make tidy # if you have left-over files from a previous build
    % make makefiles CCARGS="-DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL \
        -I/usr/local/include/sasl" AUXLIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -lsasl2"

I can't use above exactly because using mysql libraries. I must add/select above to the config on the howto which I'm following.

billymayday · 11-05-2008, 05:28 AM

It would have been in README_FILES, but this is the same

http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html#build_sasl

Note the differences between this version and what's in your howto. Ignore the mysql and other stuff, and focus on the sasl bit. You'll probably need to make tidy as well.

I have no problem building mail server running either dovecot or sasl without MySQL libraries. I have a working mail server running on this Xen box.

This is only a test.

I erased the old directory and extracted a new one on /usr/local/src/cyrus-sasl-2.1.22.tar.gz

Edit:

# ldd /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd

Code:

         linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7fa0000)
         libmysqlclient.so.15 =>
 /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15 (0xb7f23000)
         libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb7efe000)
         libsasl2.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libsasl2.so.2 (0xb7ee7000)

postfix was built with sasl support, libsasl2.so.2 being there.

I think the problem is here;

# imtest -a cyrus -m LOGIN localhost

Code:

imtest: /usr/local/lib/libsasl2.so.2: no version information available
(required by imtest)
connect: Connection refused
failure: Network initialization

# ldconfig -p | grep libsasl2

Code:

        libsasl2.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/local/lib/libsasl2.so.2
        libsasl2.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libsasl2.so.2
        libsasl2.so (libc6) => /usr/local/lib/libsasl2.so

libsasl2.so.2 (libc6) is symbolic linked to 2 files. How it comes?
Which config file controls it?

I suppose the 2nd link is correct.

# ls -l /usr/local/lib/ | grep libsasl2.so.2

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff      18 Nov  5 01:57 libsasl2.so ->
libsasl2.so.2.0.22
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff      18 Nov  5 01:57 libsasl2.so.2 ->
libsasl2.so.2.0.22
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff  290279 Nov  5 01:57 libsasl2.so.2.0.22

billymayday · 11-05-2008, 01:37 PM

Did you build your working version with sasl from source or a package? The flags postfix suggests you use to build with sasl support are not the same as the sasl flags you say you are using from your howto:

Code:

$ make makefiles 'CCARGS=-DHAS_MYSQL \
-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql  -DUSE_SASL_AUTH \
-I/usr/local/include/sasl -I/usr/local/bdb/include \
-DUSE_TLS -I/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl ' \
  'AUXLIBS=-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient \
-lz -lm -L/usr/local/lib -lsasl2  -L/usr/local/bdb/lib\
-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto'

versus

Code:

make makefiles CCARGS="-DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL \
        -I/usr/local/include/sasl" AUXLIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -lsasl2"

I'd be adding "-DUSE_CYRUS_SASL" to my make makefiles arguments.

I think you've got your thoughts about those links the wrong way around. All you've shown is libsasl2.so and libsasl2.so.2 point to the same target. Doesn't seem like a problem.

billymayday · 11-05-2008, 05:19 PM

Satimis, I had a quick play on an old RH box building from source.

Adding -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL fixes the postconf -a only reporting dovecot - it reports cyrus once rebuilt.

I suspect your problem is with your sasl build. I'll see if I get a chance to build that at some stage - I'm using a package. Here's my command line that works.

Code:

make makefiles 'CCARGS=-DHAS_MYSQL \
-I/usr/include/mysql  -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL \
-I/usr/include/sasl -I/usr/include \
-DUSE_TLS -I/usr/include/openssl ' \
  'AUXLIBS=-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient \
-lz -lm -L/usr/lib -lsasl2  -L/usr/bdb/lib\
-L/usr -lssl -lcrypto'

Note my librtary locations are clearly different from yours. The only real change is the addition of -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL.

Hi billymayday,

Thanks for your advice and time.

Rebuilt postfix. It needs full path on running make;

Code:

$ make makefiles 'CCARGS=-DHAS_MYSQL \
-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql  -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL \
-I/usr/local/include/sasl -I/usr/local/bdb/include \
-DUSE_TLS -I/usr/local/ssl/include ' \
 'AUXLIBS=-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient \
-lz -lm -L/usr/local/lib -lsasl2 \
-L/usr/local/bdb/lib \

The above is working.

Telnet will hang - postfix is waiting for input from you.

The safest way to get postfix to work is to add one bit at a time.

Start with a raw setup. Add TLS. Add SASL. Add virtual bits, etc. Then you will know where it stuffs up.

It's really the only way. Following a howto with different software versions is going to cause you major grief (as it is already)
