Thanks for your help so far, Rupa! I have now decided to give it a go
with /etc/sasldb2 - but am still not successful. Right now, postfix is
telling me:
warning: SASL authentication failure: no secret in database
Here's what I did:
1. I changed pwcheck_method in /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf to
'sasldb' (Actually I did this last, but it had no effect
anyway)
2. Using saslpasswd2, I created an /etc/sasldb2 file with a user
'madduck' and a 10-character password.
`sasldblistusers2` shows that this was successful:
madduck@albatross: userPassword
also, running `strings` on /etc/sasldb2 shows
XxXxXxXxXx <- my password
madduck
albatross
userPassword
3. I now copied /etc/sasldb2 to /var/spool/postfix/etc
4. Postfix would now complain permission denied until I chgrp'd the
file to group postfix.
5. Now it gives
warning: SASL authentication failure: no secret in database
warning: ... SASL CRAM-MD5 authentication failed
Is there anything I missed? Why is it not working?
