are the links that I wanted to put in for the apache, php and postgresql links, but then decided against it. They should be local to the gentoo wiki imo and this way, won't need to get updated once those pages are created. - Oliver 15:08, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Password encryption
I followed the Complete Virtual Mail Server tutorial in full and it is easy to follow and well explained. Everything is working as expected except for SMTP. After trying various fixes found on the web, i found the following note on postfix.org:


 * The sql auxprop plugin is a generic SQL plugin. It provides access to credentials stored in a MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite database. This plugin requires that SASL client passwords are stored as plaintext.
 * If you must store encrypted passwords, you cannot use the sql auxprop plugin. Instead, see section "Using saslauthd with PAM", and configure PAM to look up the encrypted passwords with, for example, the pam_mysql module. You will not be able to use any of the methods that require access to plaintext passwords, such as the shared-secret methods CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5.

(from: Postfix SASL Howto )

I tried to set up pam_pgsql as they suggest, but unfortunately i was not able to get it to work. Any ideas on how to reconcile this? - Lemmerk (talk) 09:08, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
