jkkenzie Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Ok, i have done it but i am where it says: " Next edit /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf and add the following lines: pwcheck_method: saslauthd mech_list: plain login " what does it mean to do as above?

neogranas Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 It means exactly what it says, edit the smtpd.conf file in /etc/postfix/sasl/ and add those lines, usually at the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviewdr Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 You will need to do some research on it. Go through a few tutorials, such as: http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_antispam_mailscanner_clamav_ubuntu http://www.howtoforge.com/howtos/linux/ubuntu There are many different configs for postfix, so I suggest you follow a tutorial such as the above one. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC Nerd Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 well you can always find the file (and thus what directory its in): sudo find / -name "*smtpd.conf" That will print out all the *smtpd.conf files on your system (assuming you did run it with sudo).

I set up postfix successfully, but it was no easy task, and once I got the book it made things a lot more clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
