Re: Postfix + SASL Authentication failed
Hi,
The problem was bad permision on /etc/sasldb file. Now works.
chmod 600 /etc/sasldb
chown postfix.postfix /etc/sasldb
# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

Anyway, the OutLook 5.50 and Netscape Comunitator 4.73 clients show that the
SMTP server does not reply. I use the same user and password (hello, hello).
I have enabled SMTP authentification and disabled SSL/TLS in OutLook and
Netscape. I do not understand why telnet works and OutLook & Netscape does
not work. Any comment?.
Note: Using telnet from any machine works.

Davi Leal
