Talk:Postfix with SASL

The tutorial misses to mention the need for the package: cyrus-sasl. After installing it, I was able to read the file /etc/conf.d/saslauthd etc. --Onny (talk) 13:41, 4 January 2013 (UTC) Reply

One important step is missing: How to create a user for SASL authentication? Therefore I get following error:

I don't seem to be able to edit this page, but the instructions for configuring the submission section of /etc/postfix/master.cf is out of date. See http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_recipient_restrictions for details. I believe this should be changed to

submission inet n - n - - smtpd
 -o syslog_name=postfix/submission
 -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
 -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
 -o smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient=no
# -o smtpd_client_restrictions=$mua_client_restrictions
# -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=$mua_helo_restrictions
# -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=$mua_sender_restrictions
# -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=
 -o smtpd_relay_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
 -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING
