Re: Postfix and SASL
I was having the same problem with saslauthd and postfix logging this error:
May 6 23:54:39 rama postfix/smtpd[21897]: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot
connect to
saslauthd server: Connection refused
May 6 23:54:39 rama postfix/smtpd[21897]: warning:
h24-70-240-178.ed.shawcable.net[24.70.240.178]:
SASL LOGIN authentication failed
The problem was /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf had
saslauthd_path: /var/run/saslauthd
which caused postfix to try to open the directory saslauthd as a socket file
the fix is is
saslauthd_path: /var/run/saslauthd/mux
the path to the socket
I found the problem with strace on the postfix master process.
