I have a pair of mail servers waiting to go into service. I ran into a bug so I delayed swapping out the old mail server. Well, the old one crapped out on Sunday. I put one of the two into service immediately and found my bug again. Fixed it.
So, in the morning of christmas day, mail was mostly working again. Mostly. smtp authentication did not work.
cyrus-sasl seems to have some kind of bug. So I googled my little heart out. This seems to be a known issue in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. And no thread of any search result gave me a solution. Trying to use the sql auxprop plugin fails. At least on SUSE 12.2. I got the source and compiled it. Failed.
FAILED. FAILED. FAILED. FAILED. and FAILED.
So I gave up and installed dovecot today. Like cyrus, it is a imap/pop/auth server. Unlike cyrus, though, it has more than a dozen configuration files and looks a bit like udev. And like cyrus, it is very poor documentation. So, 4 hours of trial and error, I successfully authenticated.
Still have some clean up to do, but right now, I goofing off for awhile.
