SMTP authentication not working

[James R. Stevens]

I agree with Brett,
Creating the accounts sounds like the step your missing. Several years
ago we setup an smtp AUTH environment and although the password
mechanism was different we DID have to create the accounts that were
used by SMTP AUTH.

Hello,
On my CentOS 4.4 machines I use saslpasswd2 to create
users.  Your maillog seems to indicate it is looking
for something in /etc/sasldb2.  What do you get from
the command sasldblistusers2?
Perhaps you need to recreate the userlist using
saslpasswd2 if you did not use that the first go
'round.

hth,
Brett
