Postfix + SASLAUTHD + MySQL authentication problems
- by Or W
I've been trying to sort this out for the past 6 hours or so, this is the error message I'm facing (Running CentOS x64):
/var/log/maillog:

I have dovecot installed as well and I'm able to receive emails via the MySQL authentication.
The problem is when I'm trying to use SMTP to send out emails.
Some config files:
