Sasl authentication problem #45

Closed dsteinkopf closed 6 years ago

dsteinkopf commented 6 years ago

After updating to current version 2.4.0 my postfix didn't correctly authenticate to its relayhost. The reason seems to be this line in aa3a416: postfix_sasl_mechanism_filter: plain

I got this error message in mail.log:

relay=a.b.c[x.x.x.x]:25, delay=151584, delays=151578/0.02/6.2/0, dsn=4.7.0, status=deferred (SASL authentication failed: server a.b.c[x.x.x.x] offered no compatible authentication mechanisms for this type of connection security)

Setting postfix_sasl_mechanism_filter: # empty in my playbook solved the problem.

Is it really a good idea to set plain as default value for postfix_sasl_mechanism_filter? I'd suggest empty value as default as this is also postfix' default.

I think you're right. Can you make a PR?

Oh wow, of course empty is a better default. Sorry about that :)
