hey guy -- great tutorial. http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch/

I got 2 questions:

1) i am getting the following error for smtp authentication:


stfix
Apr* 7 18:27:54 rider postfix/smtpd[25403]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: No such file or directory
Apr* 7 18:27:54 rider postfix/smtpd[25403]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms

Apr* 7 18:27:55 rider postfix/master[25392]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -



2) If the user does not exist in the tables for virtual users aliasing or virtual user domain, what is happening to that email ???* I see that the log accepts the email..but do not see a trace of it anywhere...



thanks

Excellent, you spotted an error in the guide. The error above just

says that you have the virtual_mailbox_base setting empty.



The guide mentions:



"(snip) virtual_mailbox_base directory which is unset by default. (snip)"



It relies on it to be:



virtual_mailbox_base = /var/mail/



Try it, do tell how did it go.
