I can't get my smtp to authenticate help!
I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out what happened to my mail server. I updated mysql from 5.0.88 to 5.5.6 and now I can't get my smtp to take my passwords. I can send mail if I login using webmail via squirrel mail. And I can get my email into my outlook but I can't send mail from outlook. I tried to use telnet to figure out what was happening. I set up my users password to test->encript in mysql tried the password every way possible under base64 test is dGVzdA== but it will not work.
The only change was the version mySql. and everything works fine in webmail.

535 5.7.0 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure
I used the following reference to setup the mail server http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-centos-4.8-i386The only change was the version mySql. and everything works fine in webmail.

My outlook settings never changed outside what I was using prior to the update. I think the reason outlook is not getting the data is because I can't even telnet from the server to itself and authenticate correctly.

I found out how to debug the authdaemond http://www.courier-mta.org/authlib/README.authdebug.html and found the problem was because the pam_mysql.so was missing. Now the question is where do I get that file from since it didn't automatically install with the rpms
ASKER
I found how to install pam_mysql.so and the final issue is the relm is not being forwarded into the user search, i.e I can make a user 'admin' and login as admin, but i can't login as admin@navolutions.com because the relm is not forwarded in the username field.
