Hi, I have a question about enabling SASL authentication in the Postfix SMTP server *ONLY* over TLS.
In the documentation [1] under the “Encrypted SMTP session (TLS)” heading, it lists recommended configurations for SASL auth that restrict the SASL mechanisms to noanonymous and noplaintext: A more sophisticated policy . . . but only over a TLS-encrypted connection: /etc/postfix/main.cf smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous, noplaintext smtpd_sasl_tls_security_options = noanonymous It then lists the following: To offer SASL authentication only after a TLS-encrypted session . . . /etc/postfix/main.cf smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes Does this mean that the smtpd_tls_auth_only parameter supersedes the mechanism configuration options, or do I need the following if I want to have noanonymous and noplaintext mechanism only over TLS: /etc/postfix/main.cf smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous, noplaintext smtpd_sasl_tls_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes Thanks, - J Notes: [1] Closest section is: http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html#smtpd_sasl_security_options
