Hi, I upgraded postfix to postfix-2.0.12-2mdk and suddenly I cannot seem to authenticate to my mail server anymore.
Here is a detailed log of what happens: Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: < ssl.polytechnique.org[129.104.30.33] 250-ssl.polytechnique.org Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: < ssl.polytechnique.org[129.104.30.33] 250-PIPELINING Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: < ssl.polytechnique.org[129.104.30.33] 250-SIZE 10240000 Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: < ssl.polytechnique.org[129.104.30.33] 250-ETRN Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: < ssl.polytechnique.org[129.104.30.33] 250-STARTTLS Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: < ssl.polytechnique.org[129.104.30.33] 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: < ssl.polytechnique.org[129.104.30.33] 250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: < ssl.polytechnique.org[129.104.30.33] 250-XVERP Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: < ssl.polytechnique.org[129.104.30.33] 250 8BITMIME Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: server features: 0x3f size 10240000 Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: maps_find: smtp_sasl_passwd: hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd: ssl.polytechnique.org = *******:******** Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: smtp_sasl_passwd_lookup: host `ssl.polytechnique.org' user `******' pass `**********' Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: starting new SASL client Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: smtp_sasl_authenticate: ssl.polytechnique.org[129.104.30.33] SASL mechanisms LOGIN PLAIN Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: connect to subsystem private/defer Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: send attr nrequest = 0 Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: send attr flags = 0 Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: send attr queue_id = 585E73FBC Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: send attr original_recipient = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: send attr recipient = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: send attr reason = Authentication failed: cannot SASL authenticate to server ssl.polytechnique.org[129.104.30.33] no mechanism available Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: private/defer socket: wanted attribute: status Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: input attribute name: status Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: input attribute value: 0 Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: private/defer socket: wanted attribute: (list terminator) Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: input attribute name: (end) Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: 585E73FBC: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=ssl.polytechnique.org[129.104.30.33], delay=39682, status=deferred (Authentication failed: cannot SASL authenticate to server ssl.polytechnique.org[129.104.30.33]: no mechanism available) Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: flush_add: site inria.fr id 585E73FBC Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: connect to subsystem public/flush Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: send attr request = add Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: send attr site = inria.fr Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: send attr queue_id = 585E73FBC Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: public/flush socket: wanted attribute: status Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: input attribute name: status Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: input attribute value: 4 Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: public/flush socket: wanted attribute: (list terminator) Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: input attribute name: (end) Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: flush_add: site inria.fr id 585E73FBC status 4 Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: name_mask: resource Jun 15 21:29:55 alan-schm1p postfix/smtp[6226]: name_mask: software I read on the archives of this list that I was not the only one, but could not find a solution there.
