I'm the packager for Postfix but only because we have not enough good server maintainers; unfortunately I know too little in Postfix to be a good maintainer for it :-(.. > enough about what changed to remove /etc/pam.d/smtp and rename > /usr/lib/smtpd.conf to smtpd.conf.rpmsave.

I couldn't find the rpm package owner for this file..). > it's supposed to authenticate through saslauthd now, but it doesn't > for some reason. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
