Re: pam + ldap smtp authentication

This is from the redhat posstfix-sasl readme
/usr/share/doc/postfix/README-Postfix-SASL-RedHat.txt

"  Is SASL appending a realm or domain to a username? PAM
   authentication requires a bare username and password, other
   authentication methods require the username to be qualified with a
   realm. Typically the username will be rewritten as user@realm
   (e.g. [email protected]) PAM does not understand a username with
   "@realm" appended to it and will fail the authentication with the
   message that the user is unknown. If the log files shows saslauthd
   usernames with "@realm" appended to it then the
   smtpd_sasl_local_domain configuration parameter is likely set in
   /etc/postfix/main.cf file, make sure its either not set or set it
   to an empty string. Restart postfix and test authtentication again,
   the log file should show only a bare username.
"

I might have other misconfiguration. I would go over everything and
might have to recompile.

regards.
