What's the content of smtpd.conf? You're on Ubuntu? Is user postfix in group sasl? Are you running Postfix chrooted? Then move /etc/sasldb2 into the chroot. AND... you might want to change the password for your authentication ID, now that you have posted the base64 encoded version to the mailing list. p@rick -- All technical questions asked privately will be automatically answered on the list and archived for public access unless privacy is explicitely required and justified. saslfinger (debugging SMTP AUTH): <http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/>
