Olivier,
Thanks for the reply.
Seems you had issue with your passwd file.
I'm faily sure the format of the file is not the issue. To clarify,
with:
-rw-r----- 1 root opensmtpd 314 Aug 15 16:58 passwd
the server is working perfectly. With
-rw-r----- 1 root mail_auth 314 Aug 15 16:58 passwd
the smtpd daemon fails to start with the previously described error. The
only difference is the group owner of the file. The opensmtpd user is a
member of both groups.
1) does the opensmtpd users can read your file ?
Yes, within a shell session there is no problem reading with either
ownership.
_ did you fill properly this file ?
--> For the creds table file; put the user name in the 1st column and the
password hash in the 2nd column
That is not the format I'm using. I'm using the table-passwd extension,
e.g.:
user:pass_hash:uid:gid:fullname:home:shell
and within smtpd.conf:
table creds passwd:/etc/mail/passwd
but again the file itself is working fine under certain conditions as
described above.
2) Seems you are running Jessie, debian propose an official package.
did you
install opensmtpd from apt tool ?
Yes, I'm running the official jessie-backports package (which is based
on 5.7.3p2 portable).
May I suggest in first to test a simple local MTA configuration and in
second step to create virtual or local user with authentication file ? (to
test the base configuration)
Well, my configuration is working as expected under the group
permissions described above. For the sake of completeness, I will append
my full smtpd.conf at the end (comments welcome).
Thanks again for your reply,
Jeremy
