I'm currently in the process of updating my new server to do the same tasks as my original older server (new server is running Debian wheezy, old server is running Debian squeeze).
The issue I'm having is sending email with pear using the following code:
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array ('host' => 'localhost',
'port' => '25',
'auth' => true,
'username' => 'linuxUser',
'password' => 'linuxPassword'));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $text);
I am able to send emails from the terminal with
$mail example@email.com
However when I attempt to run the php script to send an email via pear I get an error in my mail.log
mail.log Error
postfix/smtpd[7835]: warning: SASL authentication failure: unable to canonify user
and get auxprops
postfix/smtpd[7835]: warning: localhost[::1] SASL DIGEST-MD5 authentication failed:
authentication failure
I'll outline a few of the config files that I've changed
/etc/postfix/main.cf
# SMTP Authentication
smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
smtp_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks,
check_relay_domains, reject_unauth_destination
...
smtpd_banner = mail.$mydomain ESMTP $mail_name
mydomain = domain.com
myorigin = $mydomain
myhostname = mail.domain.com
inet_interfaces = all
/etc/default/saslauthd
START=yes
MECHANISMS="shadow"
OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd"
/etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
I initially thought that the SASL username & password hadn't been set correctly - most online tutorials show the username & password being stored in a separate DB file. However in my case the user name & password is assigned to a linux username/password.
I've no idea why this is not working, is this a postfix/SMTP error or pear/php error?
