Browse All TopicsI am setting up an Ubuntu 9.04 Server for mail and web. So far I have managed to install postfix and postfixadmin, courier imap and squirrelmail. I can login fine using mysql tables and all the test are succesful on the imap.
i can only send mail with "mail" application internally to my users but not send any mails through squirrelmail.
Now, i am trying to set up the postfix smtp using sasl, tls and mysql. When I run testsaslauthd with valid credentials I get a NO "authentication failed" message. In /var/log/mail.err I get the error postfix/smtpd[5381] fatal: need service transport:endpoint.
I really can't figure it out. Please let me know if you need me to provide you with any logs or system output.
Thanks

I have disabled tls and sasl from postfix config and modifies the main.cf to the parameters listed in http://flurdy.com/docs/pos
How can I complete remove sasl, tls and postfix so I can do a clean installation from the beginning? (just apt-get remove package?).
Since Courier Imap is working against the mysql tables would deleting postfix make the imap inaccessible and mess the current configuration?
reformat drive
reinstall your os
reconfigure your package
You can tryout xxamp if this is going to be a server:

Best of luck.
P.S.
install a remote desktop for your linux too if it is that far. That way you could telnet or desktop connect.

Thanks for the help. I think you got thing a bit wrong. I drove far to pickup a Server cabinet. I have physical access to both of my HP Proliants.
So far I managed to get courier imap to login using mysql tables and also confiured squirrelmail to login.
My problem is with smtp. I am trying to configure postfix smtp with sasl and tls. I pretty much do all the necessary configuration only to keep getting an error in /var/log/autd.log that sql_select option missing auxpropfunc error no mechanism available.
I think I might have messed up eveything badly will trying to solve other problems. I am going to start a clean installation and try setting up everything.
Since i am doing the whole thing again, I just want to ask your opinion on which apps to use for the mail server. I want to manage multiple fqdn domains setup as virtual domains on 1 server. I decided to use Postfix Courier-Imap Sasl, TLS, Mysql and Squirrelmail.
Am I missing out anything here? I just need a secure authentication for my users but I couldn't figure out sasl and tls.
Please advise

It's nothing to worry about. The Cyrus SASL library libsasl tries to intialize
all plugins. The auxprop plugin sql requires some parameters to be intialized
and fails. This is what Cyrus SASL reports.
So there's nothing wrong with your setup. It is just Cyrus SASL being rather
strange in how it treats this "error".
You might take this to the Cyrus SASL list though, so they can get an idea how
annoying this "feature" is.

P.S.
To get rid of the message remove the plugin from your Cyrus SASL plugin dir.

You have installed the Cyrus-SASL sql- and ldapdb-Plugins but you are not
using thm with Postfix. Either remove them, or satisfy the Plugins with the
Options they expect in smtpd.conf.
sql_select: dummy
But I want SASL to use the mysql module so it can authenticate over the tables.
my smtpd.conf has
pwcheck_method: auxprop
auxprop_plugin: sql
mech_list: plain login cram-md5 digest-md5
sql_engine: mysql
sql_hostnames: 127.0.0.1
sql_user: postfix
sql_passwd: yourpassword
sql_database: postfix
sql_select: select password from mailbox where username='%u@%r' and active = 1
I am satisfying the sql_select but no luck. That's what I am trying to fix
still the same
