Hi all, I am following the virtual/mail doc for Postfix from Gentoo's documentation, but I have a problem with SMTP auth.
I set up everything as described in the howto, and I can send and receive with Postfix, authenticate with Courier (via pam) against MySQL w/o any error. BUT: When I try to setup SMTP auth., I (say: kmail, my MUA) can't authenticate with Postfix for sending an email. I can see the following error msg. in my Postfix log: ===================================================================== postfix/smtpd[26662]: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: Permission denied ===================================================================== Since Courier can auth. against the MySQL DB, I *think* the problem isn't MySQL or pam. I tried to strace the Postfix PIDs, but w/o success, I got no output from strace -- don't know why :( Can anybody tell my what permission is needed on what in order to get this working?
