I really want the simplest possible design. I have created an account on the
server called groupware. I've created a dimap account (in kmail on the
client) called groupware and given it the password for the user groupware.
When I found that I got rejections I read such docs as I found, and they
seemed to say that I must have sasl working. The docs on the kde site say
that I need
in dovecot.conf:
auth default {
mechanisms = plain login
passdb pam {
}
userdb passwd {
}
socket listen {
client {
path = /var/spool/postfix/private.auth
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
}
}
and in postfix's main.cf
smtp_sasl_type = dovecot
smtp_sasl_path = private/auth
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated,
reject_unauth_destination
I've done that, but it doesn't work. It looks as though I have to set up a
password database, but I'd really like it to simply use the login database.
I'm out of my depth here.
