mail problem

[lthorne]

OK!!! Got it fixed!

It seems that saslauthd is a bit buggy in Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm going to be a "good guy greg" and show you how to resolve this issue.

First off, I followed this HowToForge article to setup ispCP 3 on Ubuntu 11.10 - http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server...spconfig-3

Now, there is a tiny sub-note that says if you get the error I got above ---
/var/log/mail.log has error
SASL LOGIN authentication failed: no mechanism available
--

Then go to this URL and follow the directions on downloading/installing the updated DEB's

I had to take a couple runs at it, ran apt-get -f install once to clean up after the first time it failed, then read the errors and install anything it gripes about and keep running dpkg -i *.deb until you don't get any more errors - LASTLY, you have to REBOOT the machine for the fix to take.

After all that, sending email from a client program works perfectly!

also, DO NOT DISABLE SASLAUTHD like the previous poster mention if using ispCP 3 on Ubuntu 11.10 - you'll have to go back and reactivate it to get everything to work.

ispCP rocks!!!!
