Greetings,
client = thunderbird 3.0 beta 3
postfix 2.3.3
linux, host == jgstoy
doing TLS encryption and authentication.
windows/thunderbird 2.0.0.22 works
windows/outlook 2003 works
looking at /var/log/maillog i see that thunderbird 3 is setting
up a TLS connection okay.
but the authentication fails:
Aug 13 14:51:40 smail postfix/smtpd[3128]: warning: SASL authentication
failure: no secret in database
Aug 13 14:51:40 smail postfix/smtpd[3128]: warning:
jgstoy.arlut.utexas.edu[10.3.16.56]: SASL CRAM-MD5 authentication failed:
authentication failure
1. i can't seem to tell thunderbird not to use cram-md5, but
that might be a short-term workaround. if i change smtpd.conf
to be just plain login then thunderbird says the server doesn't
authenticate.
2. some people who should know were saying in feb 2007 that
saslauthd did not support cram-md5. but.... it looks like
it should. does it work nowadays?
3. i CAN use openssl to "telnet" in and send mail from the
linux client jgstoy. but i used
auth plain
not auth cram-md5. so the problem is getting cram-md5 to
work on the server, right?
j.
