That's the version of postfix that fixes the problems with SASL in previous packages, yes. > > Likewise, MDKSA-2002:018 was also released Thursday which fixes some > > format string issues with cyrus-sasl so it is highly recommended that > > you upgrade. > > I upgraded all the sasl packages at the same time.

Any sasl packages I might be missing? Something else? Without seeing the list of installed cyrus-sasl packages, I can't tell you if you're missing any. =) But it doesn't sound like you are (the plugins are for various different authentication methods or implementations, ie. to have the digest md5 password support, you need libsasl7-plug-digestmd5, etc.). I guess the next thing is how to do you have SASL support configured in postfix? Can you post the pertinent part of your main.cf that deals with the SASL options? -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx -source http://www.freezer-burn.org/bios/vdanen.gpg | gpg --import" 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux kernel 2.4.8-34.1mdk uptime: 38 days 22 hours 21 minutes.
