[svlug] Setting up sasl authentication...

[Michael Robinson]

The following snippets are from /etc/postfix/main.cf:

# Added to force smtp authentication...
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
...

# Added to force smtp authentication...
smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,   
permit_sasl_authenticated,
reject_unauth_destination
...

The master.cf file is unchanged.

I use the dovecot that comes with CentOS 6.x.

Snippet from 10-auth.conf:
...
auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5
...

Snippet from 10-master.conf:
...
service auth {

  # Postfix smtp-auth
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
    mode = 0660
    # Assuming the default Postfix user and group
    user = postfix
    group = postfix
  }
}
...

So I have verified that I can configure evolution to do smtp authority
okay.  Problem is, not doing smtp authority works also.  Uge!  How to
fix that.  I'd also like to implement TLS.
