Package: postfix
Version: 2.3.8-2
The configuration file for Postfix SASL (smtpd.conf) is placed in the
/etc/postfix/sasl/ directory. However, it is never read by the daemons.
As a result, the authentication falls back to the default, using the
file /etc/sasldb2 (sasldb mechanism) and offering all available
authentication methods.
The workaround is to move the file to /usr/lib/sasl2/ directory (the
default for Cyrus SASL2, IIRC).
A fix would probably be to reconfigure the prefix for the file while
building the package.
I am not sure which package this file belongs to, as dpkg returns the
following:
dpkg: /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf not found.
I am using Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (Etch), kernel version: 2.6.21.1, libc6
version: 2.3.6.ds1-13
I am omitting hardware details, as this is clearly not a hardware issue.
