Help needed: Debian Sarge, Postfix/TLS and Magma's mail.
How do I configure Postfix to authenticate with SASL?
Since I replaced my hard disk and installed Debian Sarge, plus Postfix/TLS, I've been
unable to send mail through mail.magma.ca (Magma is my ISP). Here's what I get:

By using Ethereal, I captured the conversation as (C: messages come from the client (Me)
and S: messages come from the server (Magma)):

It seems to me that Postfix/TLS is not finding a way to authenticate and sending an RSET,
which makes mail.magma.ca reset, and forget who I am.
How can I tell Postfix to either authenticate sucessfully or to not try to authenticate at
all?
Here's a snippet from /var/log/mail.warn that may help
Mar 14 12:58:11 orbit postfix/smtpd[14670]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms
Mar 14 12:58:12 orbit postfix/master[14650]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid
14670 exit status 1
Mar 14 12:58:12 orbit postfix/master[14650]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command
startup -- throttling
I have several SASL packages installed:
$ dpkg -l | grep -i sasl
ii gsasl 0.2.5-1 GNU SASL commandline utility
ii libgsasl7 0.2.5-1 GNU SASL library
ii libsasl2 2.1.19-1.5 Authentication abstraction library
ii postfix-tls 2.1.5-9 TLS and SASL support for Postfix
ii sasl2-bin 2.1.19-1.5 Programs for manipulating the SASL users dat
but I obviously don't know how to get Postfix to work with SASL.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
Walt
