Hi, ok I've upgraded to 2.1.20 using the build script from Slackware with a
couple changes...

./configure \
  --prefix=/usr \
  --sysconfdir=/etc \
  --localstatedir=/var \
  --disable-static \
  --disable-sample \
  --enable-cram \
  --enable-digest \
  --enable-plain \
  --enable-login \
  --enable-ntlm \
  --without-pam \
  --without-ldap \
  --with-saslauthd=/var/state/saslauthd \
  --with-gdbm \
  --with-dblib=gdbm \
  --build=i686-slackware-linux

First I removed the auxprop entries from Sendmail.conf and checked that it
was still working for real users. That works fine.

I then readded the auxprop entries as below:

pwcheck_method: saslauthd auxprop
mech_list: LOGIN PLAIN NTLM
auxprop_plugin: sasldb

then checked real users again - they still work fine.

I created the virtual user like so:

root@Socrates:~# saslpasswd2 -c -a Sendmail sarah
Password:
Again (for verification):

and checked /etc/sasldb2 exists:

root@Socrates:~/src/sasl# ls -la /etc/sasldb2
-rw-------  1 root root 12407 2005-05-24 23:37 /etc/sasldb2

but the user password doesn't work when I try to relay via sendmail.

Can someone advise on why?

Much appreciated,
Martin
