All, I'm in the process of updating OS and software on my laptop and got into a problem I've never seen before.
OS is FreeBSD 9-STABLE Postfix is 2.9.0 Sending mail works, - Unencrypted to port 25 - With TLS to port 465 and 587 but does NOT work authenticated with SASL. My guess is I screwed something up in the upgrade process but I cannot figure out what. Tried "saslfinger -c" but that did not return much of interest, neither did raising verbosity from Postfix (smtp -vvvv). An identical setup (apart from it's FreeBSD 8) works perfectly from another laptop I have beside this one so I'm pretty confident the problem is not with Postfix itself or the SASL binaries. postconf -n config_directory = /usr/local/etc/postfix relayhost = [station.inter-sonic.com]:587 smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/ssl/sasl_passwd smtp_tls_CAfile = /usr/local/etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem smtp_tls_cert_file = /usr/local/etc/postfix/ssl/hunter-cert.pem smtp_tls_key_file = /usr/local/etc/postfix/ssl/hunter-key.pem smtp_tls_loglevel = 1 smtp_use_tls = yes strict_rfc821_envelopes = yes tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom log: Feb 12 00:10:18 x61s-po postfix/smtp[31030]: Untrusted TLS connection established to terrapin.inter-sonic.com[212.247.8.109]:587: TLSv1 with cipher ADH-CAMELLIA256-SHA (256/256 bits) Feb 12 00:10:18 x61s-po postfix/smtp[31030]: warning: per-session SASL client initialization: generic failure Feb 12 00:10:18 x61s-po postfix/smtp[31030]: fatal: SASL per-connection initialization failed Feb 12 00:10:19 x61s-po postfix/qmgr[13091]: warning: private/smtp socket: malformed response Feb 12 00:10:19 x61s-po postfix/qmgr[13091]: warning: transport smtp failure -- see a previous warning/fatal/panic logfile record for the problem description Feb 12 00:10:19 x61s-po postfix/master[13089]: warning: process /usr/local/libexec/postfix/smtp pid 31030 exit status 1 Feb 12 00:10:19 x61s-po postfix/master[13089]: warning: /usr/local/libexec/postfix/smtp: bad command startup -- throttling Feb 12 00:10:19 x61s-po postfix/error[31037]: 43882B828: to=<p...@bsdlabs.com>, relay=none, delay=7107, delays=7104/2.5/0/0.09, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (unknown mail transport error) Any help appreciated.... thanks.
