I have been trying to get the Cyrus SASL setup to authenticate on my outbound SMTP server with out much success. The server sends fine from the local LAN like it should but when I setup AUTH on the SMTP using SASL (saslauthd) I get log errors that show the username and password decrypted but say also
"warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory", and
"warning: aaa.server.com[9.255.255.255]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed."
Can anybody tell me why? I have followed every detail of every instruction I have found. I know the sasl2 libs are being used and my server when I telnet to it on port 25 show the AUTH=plain login cram... digest...
I am using rh9 with sasl.2-0.15 (latest I coud find on cyrus sasl site) also to postfix.rpm was created from a srcrpm created by Simon Mudd (latest rh9 version postfix-2.0.12-3.src.rpm) I compiled the sasl2 switch and most of the others I turned off like ldap and mysql. The code compile fine and the smtp works from inside the LAN, but the AUTH piece is not finding the saslauthd server. I have tried to turn off the chroot in postfix without any difference. I don't really care at the moment if the AUTH is clear plain or login, I just need it to work. Then I can worry about the more encrypted methods later.
Both saslauthd and postfix are running.
Any help, I'm tearing out my hair trying to get this last piece working. My inbound POP3 and IMAP are working fine.
Thanks so much for any help, I'm still new to this but has successfuly set it up about 6 months earlier on a Mandrake 8.2 server. (the server died and the company wanted to standardize all Linux on RH9, not my decision, I just do what I'm told)
