Alright... I know it's been a few weeks since I last addressed this
issue.
I ended up reloading the server because I had screwed up a lot of
stuff...
I'm now using the files from the /var/qmail/boot directory for my
supervise
scripts, specifically . . .
qmail-pop3d -> /var/qmail/boot/qmail-pop3d
qmail-send -> /var/qmail/boot/qmail
qmail-smtpd -> /var/qmail/boot/qmail-smtpd
it now attempts to query data from the ldap server across the 127.0.0.1
interface when I do SMTP auth. This is one step further than I was
before... Thank you Thomas Kuliavas for pointing me in the right
direction.
But I'm still getting authentication failures, but ONLY with SMTP... I
can do pop3 without a problem, so I dont think its a password problem ...
unless pop3 expects a different encryption algorithm than smtp...
Heres some output when I put smtpd into loglevel 255 and then try to do
smtp auth:
tcpserver: status: 1/50
tcpserver: pid 3870 from 207.179.69.3
tcpserver: ok 3870 mail.mydomain.org:server_ip_address:25
:207.179.69.3::1212
qmail-smtpd 3870: connection from 207.179.69.3 (unknown) to
mail.mydomain.org
qmail-smtpd 3870: enabled options: smtp-auth
qmail-smtpd 3870: remote ehlo: laptop
qmail-smtpd 3870: auth login
qmail-smtpd 3870: authentication failed: authentication failure
qmail-smtpd 3870: quit, closing connection
tcpserver: end 3870 status 0
tcpserver: status: 0/50
Does anyone know what would cause SMTP to reject the password even though
pop3 succeeds with the same password?
Make sure that ldaplogin and ldappassword can be read by processes running
as qmaild (as qmail-smtpd does and therefor auth-smtp too).
If auth-smtp is unable to read the control files it uses an anonymous bind
for the search.
