Hello,
I'm using Virtualmin on Debian 8.1. The mail server is Postfix.
I've installed Roundcube, I can see received emails, but I cannot send(same thing for Thunderbird). Logs from /var/log/mail.log:
Feb 29 18:50:27 colr postfix/smtpd[24890]: connect from localhost[::1]
Feb 29 18:50:27 colr postfix/smtpd[24890]: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory
Feb 29 18:50:27 colr postfix/smtpd[24890]: warning: localhost[::1]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: generic failure
Feb 29 18:50:27 colr postfix/smtpd[24890]: disconnect from localhost[::1]
Note that sending from Usermin works.
My e-mail accounts are in the format of "user@domain.tld". Using testsaslauthd -u user@domain.tld -p pass returns "Success".
The /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf:
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain login
saslauthd_path: /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/mux
Do you have any ideas? Thanks
Howdy,
It's possible you're seeing a permission issue.
What is the output of this command:
ls -ldĀ /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd
