murder configuration issue final stretch

[Gary W. Smith]

Andrew, 
 
Made the change on the backend server.  Now is complains that remote server is unavailable and the corresponding log on the backend is saying "badlogin: 10.80.72.205 PLAIN SASL(-13): authentication failure: Password verification failed".  At least they are talking now.  
 
I tried it with _mechs: PLAIN but when I do that I can't connect to the backend boxes from the frontend using telnet
 
#mds01_mechs: PLAIN
mds01_password: mypassword
 
On the backend I have:
 
proxyservers: murder
 
and I set the password with both saslpasswd -c murder and passwd as well.  
 
Gary

I tried setting up lmtpproxyd but I get some errors and the email gets queued up on the frontend server.  This is fine for now while we have the mail going to the proper places on the backend but going forward we will need to be able to deliver via the frontend (or murder server).

When I do a netstat -atunep on the backend server, I don't see the lmtp port open.  I would assume that this could be part of the problem.

That should probably be:

   lmtp          cmd="lmtpd" listen="lmtp" prefork=1 maxchild=100

You want one of them to listen on the lmtp network socket, rather than
both listening on the lmtp unix socket.
