Hi all,
I just got my system up and running (went from Mandrake to Debian) and i'm
having problems getting Postfix to authenticate with saslauthd.
This is on a "Testing"/"Sarge" system.
To check that sasl is working, I used the testsaslauthd command:
testsaslauthd -u my-username -p my-password
-f /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/mux
and I get:
0: OK "Success."
However when I do this:
perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64
("my-username\0my-username\0my-password");'
It returns this:
dXNlcm5hbWUAdXNlcm5hbWUAcGFzc3dvcmQ=
Then I:
telnet server 25
EHLO server
Then issue this:
AUTH PLAIN dXNlcm5hbWUAdXNlcm5hbWUAcGFzc3dvcmQ=
I get:
535 Error: authentication failed
Here's a snip of my mail.log file:
------------------------Begin Snip------------------------------

--------------------------End Snip--------------------------------
I can't relay/send messages when logged in securely becayse I'm not being
authentaced.
I need some help getting this working.
Thanks
Ralph
