Anyone out there been able to configure postfix with TLS certificate support on AIX?
I am trying to get postfix running on a RS/6000 running AIX 5.3.0.0. Postfix is working, it sends mail, which is all we want this server to do (it will never need to receive). Where I am running into trouble is getting TLS working, we postfix to send mail to a specific server and use certificates to authenticate and encrypt the transaction. I compiled Postfix with TLS and started configuration according to the instructions on the postfix.org site (http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html) * enabling TLS results in postfix failing to load. By process of elimination, it is pretty clear that " smtpd_tls_security_level = may" is the culprit. Any value aside from no causes a failure to start. I am not sure if these are related , but I figure it is worth mentioning. * when I run " postconf -a" nothing is returned. However, if I enter " postconf | grep cyrus" I get the following: cyrus_sasl_config_path = lmtp_sasl_type = cyrus send_cyrus_sasl_authzid = no smtp_sasl_type = cyrus smtpd_sasl_type = cyrus It looks to me like this was set to use cyrus, but shouldn't "postconf -a " tell me this? openssl is already installed on the server in /usr/bin/ I should also say that I am pretty new to AIX, but have worked with Postfix on other forms of Linux/UNIX, so I am not sure if the issues are based in Postfix, AIX strangeness or a combination of the two. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Theo
