SASL borked after upgrade to wheezy
Hi,
I recently upgraded my VPS from squeeze to wheezy using the Debian upgrade
instructions. There were a few issues, most of which I've sorted, but this
one's a killer.
The server runs a postfix mail server with dovecot imap, and sasl
authentication via mysql. After the upgrade I am no longer able to log on
to send mail, the error message being:
May 14 10:34:47 vanderhoff postfix/smtpd[6818]: Anonymous TLS connection
established from magpieway.net[81.2.85.100]: TLSv1 with cipher
ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)
May 14 10:34:47 vanderhoff postfix/smtpd[6818]: warning:
magpieway.net[81.2.85.100]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: generic
failure
May 14 10:34:47 vanderhoff postfix/smtpd[6818]: warning:
magpieway.net[81.2.85.100]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: generic
failure
On the server:
root@vanderhoff:/etc/cron.daily# testsaslauthd -uxxxx -pyyyy
connect() : No such file or directory
I imagine a socket is not created correctly.
Fortunately Squirrelmail still works.
Extensive Googling yields lots of results, but none appear relevant to
this situation.
Does anyone please have any suggestions, please as to how to debug this?
Cheers, Tony
