hey list.. im trying to authenticate my postfix smtp server to yahoo/att server, I have followed the following guide http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/smtpauth/smtp_auth_mailservers.html
and cannot get my server to authenticate.. here is the smtp conversation as i have sniffed it 220 smtp103.sbc.mail.ac4.yahoo.com ESMTP EHLO mydomain.org 250-smtp103.sbc.mail.ac4.yahoo.com 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN XYMCOOKIE 250-PIPELINING 250 8BITMIME MAIL FROM:<ja...@mydomain.org> BODY=7BIT RCPT TO:<jawe...@someotherdomain.com> DATA 530 authentication required - for help go to http://help.yahoo.com/sbc/dsl/mail/pop/pop-11.html 530 authentication required - for help go to http://help.yahoo.com/sbc/dsl/mail/pop/pop-11.html 530 authentication required - for help go to http://help.yahoo.com/sbc/dsl/mail/pop/pop-11.html RSET QUIT 250 flushed 221 Service Closing transmission in my main.cf, I have (among other things) relayhost=smtp.att.yahoo.com:587 smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous beast ~ # cat /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd [smtp.att.yahoo.com]:587 myacco...@att.net:xxxxxxxxxxx (real account name and password are in this file) and I have the .db file made .. beast ~ # ls -al /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 57 Jul 10 09:53 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12288 Jul 10 13:54 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd.db so how can I figure out why postfix isnt trying to authenticate while relaying?
