Athentication problem (RESEND)

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Dan,


Thanks for your advice.


> What does your Postfix SASL configuration look like?


$ grep sasl /etc/postfix/main.cf
smtpd_sasl_local_domain = 
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination

Sorry I don't follow.  Please explain in more detail.  Thanks

I don't stick on the method of authentication.  But I do expect that
the authentication will be same on all mail application.

$ grep sasl_* /etc/imapd.conf
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
sasl_auto_transition: no
sasl_saslauthd_path: /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/mux


Thanks
