Postfix - missing smtpd.conf in /etc/sasl2

[mb1980]

Hey,
Yesterday I tried to set up an email system on my laptop. I followed the guide "Email System For The Home Network". The receiving part is working perfectly fine but I have some trouble getting the sending part right.

I emerged mail-mta/postfix-2.0.19 and dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.18-r2 but I don't have any /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf or /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf file on my system. So I assume something went wrong ... Anyone any idea ??
Further the smtp stuff in /etc/postfix/main.cf is missing. I don't have anything like

Code: Select all

smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/saslpass
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous 

in there ...

Already tried to unmerge both packages and remerge them in different order etc. but nothing was successful

Thanks for your help
Matt

Are you emerging postfix with the sasl USE flag?

Code: Select all

# emerge -pv postfix

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] mail-mta/postfix-2.0.19  -ipv6 -ldap +maildir +mbox +mysql +pam -postgres +sasl +ssl  321 kB

A sample smtpd.conf is located at /usr/portage/mail-mta/postfix/files/smtpd.conf.
