Hi All,
I have a mail server with CentOS 4 (fully updated) running dovecot and postfix. I have a couple of virtual domains, so I've setup postfix and dovecot accordingly. That is, dovecot is doing the auth for internal hosts, and postfix is handling sending/receiving for both domains.
What I want to do now is open up pop3s and smtp over TLS, which will give me access to my two domains from external clients. The pop3s bit was easy, and my tests have been successful. The hard bit is the smtp over TLS. Since I'm using dovecot to handle the authentication, how do I tell postfix that the sasl auth should be passed to dovecot?
I know how to do this in CentOS 5 since it has postfix 2.3, and that version has support for dovecot authentication. So far, I haven't been able to figure out how to do the same thing in CentOS 4 and postfix 2.2.
Any tips?
Regards,
Ranbir

Ranbir, why don't you let postfix authorise itself via sasl? http://yocum.org/faqs/postfix-tls-sasl.html David

That would be ideal, but I have virtual users, and dovecot is managing them.
I've done some reading, and it doesn't look like I'll be able to use dovecot for the sasl auth. I would have to upgrade postfix and dovecot on this CentOS 4 box to an unsupported version. Damn.

I run postfix 2.3.x without any problems at all.

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by managed with dovecot... If you mean that you have users in DB (mysql, etc.) I do not see any reason why wouldn't postfix authorise users itself. BTW despite of I'm great TLS fan, as I maintain TLS EL4/5 packages for FTP, HTTP http://fs12.vsb.cz/hrb33/el4/hrb-tls/stable/i386/repodata/ , with SMTP I would recommend to stick SSL and dovecot-0.99.11-8.EL4 works smoothly with imaps, pop3s.
