Postfix-tls and client smtp auth

[David Rasch]

Greetings,

I'm running (K)Ubuntu 5.04 Hoary and I've been attempting to get my
postfix installation to authenticate with my outgoing smtp server so
that it might send me email from wherever my laptop is connected.

In any case, I've installed the following packages:

postfix-tls
libsasl2
libsasl2-modules (which contains both the PLAIN and DIGEST MD5
	authentication modules I'm used to installing in debian as
	separate packages)

I've added the following tweaked my postfix configuration as follows...

/etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = plain, login


/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd:
server_name	user:pass

and I run "postmap sasl_passwd".


In addition, I've added postfix to the "sasl" group at the advice of a
bug report I read (1784: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1784)


I get the following as errors in my log file:
Apr 17 21:13:17 localhost postfix/qmgr[13782]: BD929AEA0: from=<root at localhost.localdomain>, size=307, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Apr 17 21:13:17 localhost postfix/smtp[13792]: warning: mail.raschnet.com[172.29.5.1] offered AUTH option multiple times
Apr 17 21:13:17 localhost postfix/smtp[13792]: warning: SASL authentication failure: No worthy mechs found
Apr 17 21:13:17 localhost postfix/smtp[13792]: BD929AEA0: to=<rasch at raschnet.com>, relay=mail.raschnet.com[172.29.5.1], delay=35637, status=deferred (Authentication failed: cannot SASL authenticate to server mail.raschnet.com[172.29.5.1]: no mechanism available)


Any advice or debugging suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
David
