Greetings, I'm a newbie at the mail w/ authentication thing. So tell me what to read, since what I need is how to find answers and not just the answers. But I've been searching the web and I'm getting close, but no exact matches.
postfix-2.3.3 cyrus-sasl-*-2.1.22 saslauthd is running. This is just a test box; production isn't affected. I __don't__ have an imap server on the machine. I don't want one unless I have to have it. I don't have to have imap, right? When user aaa sends to bbb, bbb's headers show it was encrypted but aaa wasn't prompted for a password. aaa is using mutt, the .muttrc doesn't contain the password. (TLS is working, auth isn't AFAICT.) I may not know what I'm doing w/ mutt. Namely, how do I tell mutt that I want to send authenticated email? Or is mutt not involved in that? telnet EHLO response: 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH DIGEST-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5 GSSAPI NTLM 250-AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5 GSSAPI NTLM 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN I'm attaching postconf -n.
