FEDORA SENDMAIL SASLAUTHD

I configured a FEDORA 14 server with : SMTPAUTH and STARTTLS
I could send e-mails from a Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone,
but with Thunderbird there was an error ;

On the Windows Mobile smartphone , the advanced settings were checked :
[ x ] Send/receive when I click send
[ x ] Require SSL for Incoming email
[ x ] Require SSL for Outgoing email
[ x ] Outgoing server requires authentication

In the end I changed MECH=shadow instead of MECH=pam , and
the problem was gone !



/etc/sysconfig/saslauthd
SOCKETDIR=/var/run/saslauthd

# Mechanism to use when checking passwords.  Run "saslauthd -v" to get a list
# of which mechanism your installation was compiled with the ablity to use.
# MECH=pam
MECH=shadow
# Options sent to the saslauthd. If the MECH is other than "pam" uncomment the next line.
# DAEMONOPTS=--user saslauth
# Additional flags to pass to saslauthd on the command line.  See saslauthd(8)
# for the list of accepted flags.
