 |
|
Hi. I am trying to setup a virtual mailhosting system using the virtual mailhosting system guide. I have followed all the instructions to the dime and everything has worked up to the point when I configure sasl. The guide says to "Next, edit /var/lib/sasl2/smtp.conf". So I type:
| Code: | | # nano -w /var/lib/sasl2/smtp.conf |
And It turns out smtp.conf does not exist. I cd over to /var/lib/ and I can see that /var/lib/sasl2/ exists, but it is empty. Why is smtp.conf not there?
I tried skipping this step and starting sasl with:
| Code: | | # /etc/init.d/saslauthd start |
It appears to work and I continued on up to the point where I verify sasl support in linux by telneting localhost port 25 using the EHLO command. I get everything the guide says except 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN and 250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN which the guide says are what I want to show up. This is as far as I have gone with the setup. Is it normal for those two auth lines to not show up? Can I continue on with setting up the mail server?
thanks. |

You might want to see if smtp.conf was installed in /usr/lib/sasl2/. This was where the cyrus-sasl ebuild put smtp.conf when I emerged it. If it did, then watch out when you emerge, /usr/lib/sasl2 isn't protected by any default emerge mask. I found that out the hard way  . |
