Keywords: ubuntu postfix saslauthd
Configuring saslauth with Ubuntu 9.10 required making /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf look like:
pwcheck_method: saslauthd mech_list: plain login saslauthd_path: /var/run/saslauthd/mux
The important missing part that I couldn't find in any tutorials or instructions is the /mux on the end of the saslauthd_path.
I also needed to add the following parts to /etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtp_tls_security_level = may smtpd_tls_security_level = may smtpd_tls_auth_only = no smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom smtp_use_tls = yes
