Thanx for the quick reply. It turns out the problem was that, while I had a pam config file for the smtp service, it wasn't configured properly. Copying over the one I use for sshd did the trick. - Mark

According to cyrus-sasl-2.1.21/doc/sysadmin.html: If you are using the PAM method to verify passwords with saslauthd, keep in mind that your PAM configuration will need to be configured for each service name that is using saslauthd for authentication. Common service names are "imap", "sieve", and "smtp". Also, make sure you read postfix-2.2.5/README_FILES/SASL_README especially where it says: IMPORTANT: all users must be able to authenticate using ALL authentication mechanisms advertised by Postfix, otherwise the negotiation might end up with an unsupported mechanism, and authentication would fail. grepping for PAM in both the postfix and the sasl source trees yields much information. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
