Are you running smtpd chroooted? If you want to use SMTP-AUTH, it might be easier to un-chroot smtpd. Elsewhere you will have to copy a lot of files (especially for SASL). > Has anyone managed to get woody's postfix to authenticate with sasl > over pam? smtpd can't read /etc/shadow and tus PAM can't (PAM is a bunch of libraries). I used pwcheck (from sasl-bin, IIRC). Run pwcheck as root, it becomes a daemon. Then edit /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf, it should read "pwcheck_method: pwcheck". pwcheck uses an unix socket (/var/run/pwcheck/pwcheck by default), take care smtpd can access it (think of chroot).
