Greetings all, I have a OpenBSD /Dovecot server at home running and sending / receiving email "internally" without issue.. Recently, I set up the same at our Parish, but one of our users wants to get their email externally.
The user can read their email but has to "send" via the local ISP server.. The problem After much searching I have not found an answer to my question. I would like the user to authenticate to be able to "send" email "through" the server.. OpenBSD uses bsdauth by default in Dovecot. After reading the Postfix http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html and the Dovecot Wiki http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL I have tried multiple configurations but I can't seem to get this to work.. It may be something very simple that I am missing.. All users on the Server have accounts in /etc/passwd (just no shell) Postfix - main.cf mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination dovecot --version 1.1.16 dovecot -n # OS: OpenBSD 4.6 i386 base_dir: /var/dovecot/ protocols: imaps listen: *, [::] ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/dovecotcert.pem disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_user: _dovecot login_max_processes_count: 256 max_mail_processes: 32 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mbox_write_locks: fcntl imap_client_workarounds: delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep auth default: cache_size: 1024 passdb: driver: bsdauth args: cache_key=%u userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/auth-client mode: 432 user: _postfix master: path: /var/run/auth-master mode: 384 user: _postfix Error using bsdauth Dec 21 15:07:09 aml000t3 dovecot: dovecot v1.1.16 starting up Dec 21 15:07:09 aml000t3 dovecot: Panic: auth(default): file passdb.c: line 190 (passdb_init): assertion failed: (passdb->passdb->default_pass_scheme != NULL || passdb->passdb->cache_key == NULL) Dec 21 15:07:09 aml000t3 dovecot: child 18954 (auth) killed with signal 6 (core not dumped) Dec 21 15:07:09 aml000t3 dovecot: Fatal: Auth process died too early - shutting down It looks like bsdauth has a bug and even though this thread "lists" a patch, I haven't been able to find it.. http://old.nabble.com/bsdauth-with-cache_key-failed-ts25800484.html#a25800484 so I guess I am looking for an alternative to be able to allow users to "send through the server" Thx for any pointers tk -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Openbsd-Postfix-Dovecot-SASL-tp26890148p26890148.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
