I am trying to use my droid to reply to mail msgs. I can receive but when I try to send one I get authentication failed. I looked at server 'var/log/maillog' and here is the msg:

warning: SASL authentication failure: Could not open /etc/sasldb2: gdbm_errno=3

I am trying to understand what is failing here. If you have any thoughts it would be appreciated.

thanks

Do you have an smtpd.conf at /etc/postfix or /usr/lib/sasl2 ?

Try to add one with
Code:
mech_list: plain login
pwcheck_method: saslauthd

You have to force sasl to use plain or login.
Is this only from your droid phone or do you have problems from all clients?

Hi there.

I also had troubles sending mail from my Android, the embedded email client do not provide the "PLAIN" authentication method.

Use the K9 email client instead. I found it also more configurabile that the original one(ie. working different signatures for different accounts).


A hint solving your problem is that when tryed to send emails with the original client as a local IP client you get the auth errorrs. If you try to send from an external IP (ie. your GPRS provider) the message is sent. I haven't yet time enough to properly examine this issue so I switced to K9.

Is there any problem with this forum engine???

I didn' t receive email notification about baboo's reply. Nor about SMS-1.6.0 release.

For me isn't a real problem since I check the forum at least 3 times/week.... Wink

Try to disable email notification and enable it again on your profile...
I had enabled a script sending mail notifications about spammers, I don't know if that causing overload.
