Hi,
I am using centosl 4.3,

cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.19-5.EL4
cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.19-5.EL4

After compile and installtion of postfix-2.2.10 from source with (during installation I selected default locations), SMTPD is killing by throwing the following error: if i do a 'telnet localhost 25'

I was able to use the default rpm from centos without any probelm. I was using the same config for my compiled version..

Any Idea?

Sorry for the late reply..I was bit busy.. Than you for the reply .. That was the problem with SASL + LDAP library. I fixed it by compiling new curus after installing latest version of openldap and specifying the path while compiling..

gotcha. Can you please post, in a little more detail, step by step what you did? Then post a Q in the Community Support area requesting a PAQ/Refund. Someone may search and come across this question and need to know a little more indepth what you did.

Thanks

Sorry, it took a long time to respond.. I was little busy with other stuff.. Here follows what I did to fix it..

First download and install cyrus sasl
wget http://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/cyrus-sasl-2.1.22.tar.gz
tar -zxvf cyrus-sasl-2.1.22.tar.gz
cd cyrus-sasl-2.1.22
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/cyrus-sasl
make;make install

Download ,compile and install openldap: (from openldap.org)
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openldap
make depend; make install
will do that for you..

now download and compile postfix with the following arguments in it. (from postfix.org)
make makefiles CCARGS="-I/usr/local/include -DHAS_LDAP -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL -I/usr/local/cyrus-sasl/include/sasl -DUSE_TLS -I/usr/local/openldap/include" AUXLIBS="-L/usr/local/cyrus-sasl/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lldap -llber -L/usr/local/lib -lsasl2 -L/usr/local/openldap/lib -lssl -lcrypto"

make; make upgrade (if you have a postfix preinstalled, else, make install)

While make install, it will ask for the libldap and liblber libiraries. Go to create a symlink from /usr/local/openldap/lib to /lib for the corresponding library files to resolve this issue. :)
After stop and start, Postfix will behave properly ...

I have noticed the same postfix sasl issue with Fedora Core 4. Above mentioned steps will help to fix that unpleasant surprise too.. :)

Good Luck..

If you look at the very upper right of this page you will see a link for Support. Click on that, then in that section post a Q referenceing the URL for this Q. Say that you answered your own question and wish to PAQ/Refund this question.

A moderator will then post a comment stating your intentions and then wait a few days to make sure there are no objections. If none, then the request is finalized
