Can you post a copy of the section of your sasl in your /etc/postfix/main.cf for reference? Mine looks as so: smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous And finally, some smarthosts, although not mine, require smtp_always_send_ehlo = yes to be present since not all MTA's automatically send ehlo upon connect and some smarthosts require that. You also need to put your clear text password into a file and then use the hash routine to has it, not all will accept passwords in the clear. My ISP does not. The last step was the one that I needed to complete along with putting the has for password maps in before I was able to get SMTP AUTH to work with Postfix. ..snip > Anyway - anyone has a hint on it ? > Also - does anyone knows why there are 2 library sets installed ? for sasl: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# rpm -qa | grep sasl > libsasl2-2.1.12-1mdk > cyrus-sasl-2.1.12-1mdk > libsasl7-plug-plain-1.5.28-5mdk > libsasl2-plug-plain-2.1.12-1mdk > libsasl7-1.5.28-5mdk > > Thx for any hint You may also need to install the libsasl2-plug-digestmd5 and libsasl2-plug-crammd5 to get it to work. Again, some systems won't accept plain authentication, they require md5 or some hash to authenticate. If you load these packages and try this, let me know if it still doesn't work. I found a howto setup on SASL SMTPAUTH for Postfix somewhere which is where I got my settings from, I can probably find it again. It has a walkthrough for figuring out what authentication the smarthost supports and how to configure for it. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
