mail server setup


I'm trying to set up a simple mail server using this tutorial "http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:miscostifx_with_cyrus". I have completed all the tasks until:

# cyradm --user cyrus --server localhost --auth plain
localhost>cm user.slackware_user
localhost>lm
localhost> quit


when I try to run "cyradm --user cyrus --server localhost --auth plain", I don't get a prompt, just a blank line, so I can't complete the task.

I should probably add that I uninstalled and rebuilt cyrus-sasl using the source from slackware.com with a modified SlackBuild to configure --enable-plain and --disable-digest

Did you try with sendmail ?

I am using slackware with sendmail for may years
without any problem.

For using cyrus-sasl with sendmail, read the post below.

For using SSL, there is a problem with openssl-1.0.1i but
simply use stunnel do the trick.

If you need help starting Sendmail, I can try to help you.

There is no link below your post, and besides I think you are missing the point. The OP is talking about cyrus-imap not cyrus-sasl.
It has nothing to do with sendmail versus postfix either.

You should not have to recompile the package with these added parameters. The PLAIN mechanism is enabled by default, and DIGEST-MD5 can be disabled at runtime by not adding it to thhe mech_list but instead just mentioning
Code:
mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
