Thanks Vishal for you post ,
I have solved the problem with smtp -auth. ( relay access denied ) and
thought i would share my configuration the with those who are facing
similar issues
My system is FC4 and i wanted a basic requirement of system users on
my mail server ( only one domain ) . setting up of postfix in this
case is pretty easy but smth-AUTH as major problem. Here are some of
my tips and configuration files i sued to authenticate users through
PAM instead of the /etc/shadow . { note: for to users authenticate r
through /etc/shadow you would need to allow postfix have read
permission to the /etc/shadow file , which would be a security risk by
default /etc/shadow is 400 }
the testsaslauthd is a command to check is system user authenticate
testsaslauthd -u testpostfix -p testpostfix
vi /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd
# Directory in which to place saslauthd's listening socket, pid file, and so
# on. This directory must already exist.
SOCKETDIR=/var/run/saslauthd
# Mechanism to use when checking passwords. Run "saslauthd -v" to get a list
# of which mechanism your installation was compiled to use.
MECH="PAM"
# Additional flags to pass to saslauthd on the command line. See saslauthd(8)
# for the list of accepted flags.
