Having spent many hours getting virtual users working with MySQL and Postfix, I've now come to an impasse on what should be a very simple problem. SMTP-AUTH using saslauthd.

I had to recompile Postfix to work with MySQL, but I can't see how that would have caused a problem with sasl authentication.

In main.cf I have the following:

smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_local_domain = mymailserverfqdn

and I'm permitting in the recipient restrictions.

I've even tried:

smtpd_sasl_application_name = /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf

(that's where mine lives).

smtpd.conf has:

pwcheck_method: pam

yet when I ehlo into the mail server I dont see AUTH

Any ideas? Anyone?

Cheers!
