Postfix and saslauthd

[David Hearn]

Hi

I've now got Postfix using SASL2 (via saslauthd) to some extent.

My client is Outlook Express 6 in XP Pro and here is my situation:

smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permis_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtpd_sasl_local_domain =
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes

Note that I have the smtpd_sasl_local_domain set to blank.

When I try sending an email through the server, smtpd trys to use sasldb2 and NTLM authentication first (SPA is turned off in my client).  OE displays a "username, password and domain" box asking for these details.  If I put anything in and click okay - it comes back and asks it again.  I've tried various combinations of username without domain, with domain, etc.  If I click cancel, then it then tries LOGIN and it works.  However - (BIG HOWEVER) - it ONLY works if I have smtpd_sasl_local_domain set to blank.  If I have it set to the real domain, then it tries to authenticate username.domain.com at domain.com - which fails.

saslauthd is set up to use PAM, and the imap pam.d file is the same as the one used for smtp.  I have got OE set up to not use SPA (which I understand is NTLM), and its meant to use "same settings as incoming mail server".

Am I doing something wrong here?  Why do I have to set smtpd_sasl_local_domain to empty?  Is this right?

Is there any way that I can stop it trying to use NTLM authentication (anything I can turn off in postfix or something) as I don't want it attempting to use that (as it doesn't appear to work).

Thanks

David

PS.  Don't cc it to me - I get the email from the list too and I've geen getting 2x every email in the last discussion!  Thanks
