Ok lets try this again...
I'm trying to configure my postfix server to use Dovecot as an SASL server and running into some problems. My server supports a couple of domain, I have multiple user/password files for multiple domains to make the files a little easier to manage. Not sure if this question should belong in the dovecot mailing list or the postfix one, but here goes anyway. I have everything configured to use CRAM-MD5 authentication, including my mail client.
Here is the Dovecot -n output:
mail# dovecot -n # /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot.info protocols: imap pop3 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_gid: 0 mail_extra_groups: mail mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-idle pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: mechanisms: plain cram-md5 passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/%d/passwd userdb: driver: passwd-file args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/%d/passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master:
heres a sample line from one of the passwd files:
chrism:{CRAM-MD5}a67a65704086a046b3f875d1eaac8cb5c6fd13406507fead30d9bcb1bf82b:1003:1003::/home/vmail/example.com
and to login through SASL I am trying to use the username chrism@example.com when I use the full email address like this to login like this I get this output into my postfix log:
Jul 10 18:46:59 mail postfix/smtpd[57343]: connect from unknown[12.244.148.123] Jul 10 18:46:59 mail postfix/smtpd[57343]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[12.244.148.123]: 554 5.7.1 chrism@gmail.com: Relay access denied; from=chrism@example.com to=chrism@gmail.com proto=ESMTP helo=<[192.168.1.14]> Jul 10 18:47:00 mail postfix/smtpd[57343]: disconnect from unknown[12.244.148.123]
(not actually using example.com but I changed it here) heres my smtpd_recipient_restricitons from postconf
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination, permit_sasl_authenticated
so when I use the full user name (chrism@example.com) it doesn't appear to even attempt logging into the sasl server. If I change it to simply chrism, heres the output:
Jul 10 18:50:36 mail postfix/smtpd[57356]: connect from unknown[12.244.148.123] Jul 10 18:50:38 mail postfix/smtpd[57356]: warning: unknown[12.244.148.123]: SASL CRAM-MD5 authentication failed: PDI3NjU4MTE4NDExMTQzN0BtYWlsPg== Jul 10 18:50:39 mail postfix/smtpd[57356]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[12.244.148.123] Jul 10 18:50:39 mail postfix/smtpd[57356]: disconnect from unknown[12.244.148.123]
if I put my user name in as chrism and don't add the @example.com it tried to login but it can't login.
anyone have any ideas?
