[Pmwh-users] Problems setting up SASL

[Taher S. <ta...@sh...>]

Hi there :)
I've been surfing the web for the last couple of days looking for=20
information about setting up linux box with virtual domain hosting. Easy=20
going with apache, apache-tls and proftpd for the moment (I've gotta try=20
TLS Ftp though...just didn't have the time yet). It was a nice surprise=20
finding Christoph Haas' workaround and this project. AUTH smpt+TLS+MySql=20
was just what I was looking for the email system.

However, after following the installation intructions I'm unable to access=
=20
the smtp service. Emails are sent OK from the localhost, but don't work=20
from other computers. SASL doesn't seem to work.

I run Debian testing, all the packages from the howto (excepting=20
amavis/squirrelmail related) are installed, and since libsasl-digestmd5=20
belongs to the unstable branch I've tried with that file (and=20
dependencies), and with libsasl-digestmd5-des (from stable) (and=20
dependencies) afterwards. In non of the situations did I succeed.


Database and user are correctly set, and the configuration files for=20
Postfix are set as in the howto (including=20
/var/spool/postfix/etc/pam.d/smtp and /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf). A=20
virtual domain and email account have been created, but MySQL's log file=20
shows the database is never accessed (I'm logging all the queries).

Any help would be greatly appreciated ;-)
I'm quite comfortable usign linux machines, but I'm afraid I'm just a so-so=
=20
sysadmin.

Regards,
         Taher
