Hi,
I have IMAP authentication working for vpopmail and standard linux
users, but I have a problem with SMTP authentication.
I need SMTP authentication to work for standard linux users (I'm not
worried about vpop users at all for SMTP-AUTH). I have built my box
using the instructions on Shupp.org (Bill Schupp). I understand that
Bill's toaster incorporates a Qmail AUTH patch but when I try to login
it doesn't work:
Escape character is '^]'.
220 blue.x-rm.com ESMTP
ehlo localhost
250-blue.x-rm.com
250-STARTTLS
250-PIPELINING
250-8BITMIME

<base64 encoded password>
535 authentication failed (#5.7.1)
I also have this line in /var/log/maillog
May 16 20:56:23 blue vpopmail[22654]: vchkpw-smtp: vpopmail user not
found nick@:127.0.0.1
..which implies that perhaps it's only looking for vpopmail users rather
than /etc/passwd users.
I would like it to work for /etc/passwd users only, or both vpopmail AND
/etc/passwd users - whichever is easier.
Can someone please give me some pointers on how I can fix this problem
so that normal shell account users can authenticate.
I think smtp auth requires a clear text password for CRAM-MD5 authentication
to work. If so, /etc/passwd users won't be able to use smtp authentication.
Wasn't the other problem that qmail-smtpd needed to be run as root?
