5 Cups of Ubuntu
Hi,
Firstly thanks Flurdy for the howto, greetins from a fellow manc!
I've managed to get my server up and running really well, the only bit I can't seem to get sorted is the SASL for sending mail. By tailing the logs it appears that the auth is checking with the MySQL tables but not accepting my password as correct.
I've attached the relevent config files. I hope someone can help me fix the problem. let me know if you need any of the log files on any more info.

I got mine working finally by using a combination of flurdy's howto and this one mentioned earlier http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-sarge/
Now that I've got it working I am now going work on making postfixadmin work with this setup and I'll be happy.

the_idol: Could you give us a few hints as to what modifications you made to the flurdy docs to get going? I tried replacing my main.cf and master.cf files with the ones from neufena but am still getting the relay error when attempting to receive mail. Any tips would be appreciated..

After much hair pulling with getting postfix/smtp/sasl/mysql working, it turned out that I had trailing spaces at the end of each line from the copy/paste in the /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf
After removing the spaces from the file and reloading postfix all was well.
I was getting errors in /var/log/auth.log like these until I removed the trailing spaces:
postfix/smtpd[27381]: SQL engine 'mysql ' not supported
postfix/smtpd[27381]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available
postfix/smtpd[27381]: _sasl_plugin_load failed on sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: sql
Other than that the howto was great.

I'm in need of some help,
I can't seem to be able to login to SquirrelMail. I double checked my authmysqlrc file and all the fields are set properly, double checked my db and everything's fine. The squirrelmail config test goes well. The test on Furby's site went well. I have no idea what else could be wrong.
This is my mail.log below, any ideas?

It might not be a problem with SquirrelMail afterall, when trying to connect to courier from telnet I get:
telnet localhost 143
A01 LOGIN myuser@mydomain.com mypassword
A01 NO Login failed.
Would anyone have any clues? I'm at a real loss.
Edit:
Nevermind, was a typo in my authmysqlrc file... Two and a half days of debugging for a typo. Weee. Log files are now my best friend.
Edit The Second:
Just wanted to pass along a thank you to Flurdy, great tut! After haggling with a few minor issues that were entirely of my own doing, I've got a email server running, sending and receiveing without a hitch to the postmaster account. Cheers!

I went through the entire setup, but I can't seem to Telnet to my postfix server from localhost.
It starts up ok, and without error. Not sure what files one may need to help with this.

Another "thank you" to Flurdy for the great guide. Your time and effort is greatly appreciated.
I've followed the guide and learned a LOT about postfix and courier (coming from a sendmail/cyrus background, and wanting to learn something different). Mail seems to be arriving where it ought to, which is a good thing.
One problem I have however is I can't log into the Courier-IMAP server from mutt. I don't know if this is a mutt problem, an SASL problem, or something else.
I open mutt, tell it to connect (press "c") and feed it imap://user:pass@servername . It finds the TLS certificitate fine, tells me it's authenticating via CRAM-MD5, and then gives me a "SASL Authentication Failed" error.
My logfiles look like this:
Now if I telnet it instead, I get the following:Code:Jul 25 10:19:46 localhost imaplogin: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Jul 25 10:19:46 localhost imaplogin: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], command=CAPABILITY Jul 25 10:19:46 localhost imaplogin: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], command=STARTTLS Jul 25 10:19:47 localhost imaplogin: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], command=CAPABILITY Jul 25 10:19:48 localhost imaplogin: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], command=AUTHENTICATE Jul 25 10:19:51 localhost imaplogin: authdaemon: starting client module Jul 25 10:19:51 localhost imaplogin: authdaemon: REJECT Jul 25 10:19:56 localhost imaplogin: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Jul 25 10:19:58 localhost imaplogin: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], command=LOGOUT
And the logs:Code:# telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-SHA1 IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2004 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for distribution information. imap login user@servername pass imap OK LOGIN Ok. imap logout * BYE Courier-IMAP server shutting down imap OK LOGOUT completed Connection closed by foreign host.
Is someone able to shed some light on this? The box is in another location, so I'm unable to test it locally with a GUI client like mozilla-thunderbird, etc. I will try to get near it eventually and test with other clients. Is mutt the problem? Or did I break something?Code:Jul 25 12:53:29 localhost imaplogin: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Jul 25 12:53:47 localhost imaplogin: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], command=LOGIN Jul 25 12:53:47 localhost imaplogin: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], username=user@servername Jul 25 12:53:47 localhost imaplogin: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], password=pass Jul 25 12:53:47 localhost imaplogin: authdaemon: starting client module Jul 25 12:53:47 localhost imaplogin: authdaemon: ACCEPT, username user@servername Jul 25 12:53:47 localhost imaplogin: LOGIN, user=user@servername, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], protocol=IMAP Jul 25 12:56:34 localhost imaplogin: LOGOUT, user=user@servername, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], headers=0, body=0, time=167
[edit]
World's quickest edit! The username is "user@servername". When using mutt and telling it to connect to imap://user:pass@servername, the username is only "user".
Instead, I now tell mutt to connect to "imap://servername". It prompts me for a username, which I enter as "user@servername" (ie: the complete entry from "id" column from the "users" table) and the correct password, and I am in.
Sometimes you just need to talk out your problem, and the solution becomes clear.
And once again, thanks heaps to Flurdy for the clear and concise guide. Great software is nothing without people who take the time to explain/howto it.
