Fwd: postfix multiple domain total solution.

["Michael Habashy" <mjh2000@gmail.com>]

hey guy -- great tutorial. http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch/

I got 2 questions:

1) i am getting the following error for smtp authentication:
stfix
Apr  7 18:27:54 rider postfix/smtpd[25403]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: No such file or directory
Apr  7 18:27:54 rider postfix/smtpd[25403]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms

Apr  7 18:27:55 rider postfix/master[25392]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -

2) If the user does not exist in the tables for virtual users aliasing or virtual user domain, what is happening to that email ???  I see that the log accepts the email..but do not see a trace of it anywhere...

thanks

Excellent, you spotted an error in the guide. The error above just
says that you have the virtual_mailbox_base setting empty.

The guide mentions:

"(snip) virtual_mailbox_base directory which is unset by default. (snip)"

It relies on it to be:

virtual_mailbox_base = /var/mail/

Try it, do tell how did it go.
