Hi Dave:
With Postfix this is best done with SASL2. You MUST store your DbMail user
passwords in plaintext or you'll tear your hair out trying to figure out why
it breaks. Any form of encrypted PW in the database will cause SASL to fail.
I may be wrong on this but from early days to current dev Postfix I have
never seen a way to have Postfix do the authentication query directly to the
database. I also see this approach as a huge security issue, level red, so I
imagine Wietse Venema would not have favoured it with much thought. Cyrus
SASL is THAT good!
SASL or SASL2 with MySQL authentication configured is a common aproach. You
can configure this in main.cf as 'authentication required' or the default
'authentication optional'. Again, you MUST store your DbMail user passwords
in plaintext.
Check out this http://www.dbmail.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=smtp_auth pn the
Wiki and see if that helps.
Write me if you are stuck. If you do figure a better way, please let me know
as I would love to see that :o)
best... Mike

Subject: [Dbmail] Postfix + dbMail + smtp auth
I have dbmail working great with postfix-mysql to check for aliases using
your instructions on setting up sql-recipients.cf and adding the following
to mail.cf :
Local_recipient_maps=mysql:/etc/postfix/sql-recipients.cf
My question:
It seems like there should be a similar way to do smtp authentication.
But
every example that I can google requires pam-mysql and SASL/SMTP-AUTH. Is
there an easier way to have postfix directly query dbmail?
Thanks, Dave
