On second thought: Your test log shows that your mail client attempts to use CRAM-MD5 as authentication mechanism. CRAM-MD5 is a shared secret mechanism and saslauthd cannot handle this group of mechanisms. Solution a. Reduce your mech_list in smtpd.conf to "plain login" only. Then you should required TLS before clients may use these plaintext mechanisms, because passwords will be transmitted plaintext. b. Use a different password check method to access your LDAP server i.e. the Cyrus SASL ldapdb plugin. This allows for shared secret mechanisms, but requires you to store passwords in plaintext (required by shared secret mechanisms) in your LDAP database backend. p...@rick > > p...@rick > > > > > > > >
