Hello,

Domain server.linux-world.site
Accountuser: 10001

In 64-bit-based-code this should be MTAwMDEAMTAwMDEAdGVzdA==

Here some detailed login debugging:
root at server sasl2 # testsaslauthd -u 10001 -p test -s smtp

If I now use a mail-client, or get direct on the server, using telnet and try to authenticate myself with the 64-bit-based code “MTAwMDEAMTAwMDEAdGVzdA==” I get no always an failed login.

My /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf have the following include:
pwcheck_method: saslauthd

My /etc/pam.d/smtp & pop & imap sieve have the following include:
auth sufficient pam_mysql.so user=mailadmin passwd=geheim host=localhost db=mail table=accountuser usercolumn=username passwd$

account required pam_mysql.so user=mailadmin passwd=geheim host=localhost db=mail table=accountuser usercolumn=username passw$


Ok, now I try to connect using telnet:

root at server sasl2 # telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.

Any suggestion how to solve this issue? Should I post some more information for debug – what does you need?


Thanks,
Benjamin
