Hi Chris

Again, thanks for writing out the howto. Very grateful.

I followed your instructions - found one typo - the 'make makefiles' for 
postfix should have -DHAS_SSL instead of -DUSE_SSL

I went to the postfix site and read one of the howtos to set up tls - this 
works as I can quite happily telnet to localhost on port 25, do a 'EHLO' and 
then 'STARTTLS' ... ie

C: [[email protected]]# telnet mail.example.com 25
S: 220 mail.example.com ESMTP Postfix
C: EHLO example.com
S: 250-mail.example.com
S: 250-PIPELINING
S: 250-SIZE 10240000
S: 250-VRFY
S: 250-ETRN
S: 250-STARTTLS
S: 250-XVERP
S: 250 8BITMIME
C: STARTTLS
S: 220 Ready to start TLS

... but when it comes to using a mail client to relay via postfix I get an 
error ... using Outlook Express ..

Unable to establish a SSL connection with the server. Account: 
'example.com', Server: 'example.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '454 
TLS not available due to temporary reason', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): Yes, 
Server Error: 454, Error Number: 0x800CCC7F


.. looking at /var/log/syslog, I get the following (unhelpful) message:
May 24 06:33:45 example.com postfix/smtpd[522]: [ID 197553 mail.info] 
starting TLS engine
May 24 06:33:45 example.com postfix/smtpd[522]: [ID 197553 mail.info] 
connect from unknown[192.168.0.12]
May 24 06:33:46 example.com postfix/smtpd[522]: [ID 197553 mail.info] 
disconnect from unknown[192.168.0.12]


I'm not too sure what is happening here, whether it's a postfix config 
problem - ie, it's still checking for ip addresses, or a sasl problem in 
that it's falling over with the LDAP server.

Incidently, I used the filter in the saslauthd.conf as you suggested, except 
without the smtpauth switch :

ldap_filter: (&(ObjectClass=JammMailAccount)(mail=%u)(accountactive=TRUE))

.... my sasl2 version is 2.1.17, so this should be OK?

Does any of this fire off any warning bells? The error message from Outlook 
doesn't make sense as TLS does work.

Best
Buzz
