I first tried the instructions in "The BOOK of POSTFIX", but no luck
Then I followed the instructions here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix
In both cases, the symptom is that postfix, upon being restarted,
responds to "nc -v -v localhost 25' with an accept and then an
immediate disconnect. A second connection succeeds, but no banner is
being printed.
no need to use nc. just use telnet.
I also notice that even though the SSL keys have passwords on them,
postfix never prompts for them.
daemons do not prompt.
As
http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html
says:
"The private key must not be encrypted, meaning: the key must be
accessible without a password"
I narrowed down the problem to this config value:
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
(next time, describe the problem in the body, even if the subject is
well chosen).
it is probable that you have a config error in your sasl configuration
(smtpd.conf). run saslfinger and report its output.
Here is the WORKING "postconf -n" (sasl_auth disabled),
next time, show 'postconf -n' for the non working setup.
