ldappassword must be owned by qmaild if you want smtp auth


Thanks for the response, but I don't think that is the issue. The file is owned by group qmail, of which qmaild is a member. I can run this command and it shows the contents of the file, so I know it is readable by qmaild:

su - qmaild -c 'cat /var/qmail/control/ldappassword'

I stand corrected. I changed the permissions as follows:


# ls -l ldappassword
-r--------    1 qmaild   root            9 Dec 12 23:40 ldappassword

Now it works fine. I don't really understand why it works this way but not the other, but it does.

Thanks for the tip, Christian!
