Hi,
I am trying to check SSL Auth on Postfix because it fails for our server from
time to time (I then have to restart saslauthd, courier-authdaemon and
postfix). But it does not seem to work.
I tried the following:
check process postfix with pidfile /var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid
group mail
start program = "/scripts/postfix_start"
stop program = "/scripts/postfix_stop"
if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 25
expect "^220 mail.domain.tld ESMTP.*"
send "EHLO mail.domain.tld\r\n"
expect "^250.*"
send "AUTH PLAIN\r\n"
expect "^334.*"
send "encrypted-user-and-password\r\n"
expect "^235 2.7.0 Authentication successful.*"
send "QUIT\r\n"
for 2 cycles then restart
if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
depends on postfix_rc
I checked it by using telnet and connected to Postfix on port 25. The server
accepted everything and gave me back a "235 2.7.0 Authentication successful"
information. Maybe it is just a little small thing which I do not see at the
moment.
The following websites were helpful for that:

http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/monit-general/2012-01/msg00031.html
http://www.ndchost.com/wiki/mail/test-smtp-auth-telnet
The encoded user and password is created out of bash with this command:
perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64("\000user\@domain.tld\000password")'
Any idea, anybody? ;-)
Cheers,
Martin
