Hello,
I faced with strange problem with my postfix configuration. I use the postfix
as SMTP client to send emails from my host. Recently I changed the password on
external email-server, updated file that stores passwords and now I see SASL
authentication failures in log. I wonder is the limitation on password part in
the file pointed by smtp_sasl_password_maps?
This is password part of my postfix configuration:
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
where sasl_passwd has following format:
account@MAIL.SERVER account:PASSWORD
The only restriction on PASSWORD that email-server puts is to avoid ' and ~
symbols, right now PASSWORD has any except these symbols, for example it has
symbols: ;:".
I read the documentation but didn't find any restrictions on PASSWORD part. Do
I missed something?
