我真的不知道该如何配置这个邮件服务器部署。我正在遵循以下发布的优秀指南：http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/。我在 Linode 上使用 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS。
按照信件指南操作时，我从 Thunderbird 邮件客户端发送外发邮件时遇到了 Postfix 错误。
warning: SASL authentication failure: no secret in database
随后出现一条通用的身份验证失败消息。
经过谷歌搜索后，我在 Postfix 文档中发现以下内容似乎与 Flurdy 指南相矛盾：
如果您必须存储加密密码，则不能使用 ldapdb auxprop 插件。相反，您可以使用“saslauthd -a ldap”直接查询 LDAP 数据库，并在 saslauthd.conf 中进行适当的配置。这可能会在本文档的后续版本中记录。您将无法使用任何需要访问纯文本密码的方法，例如共享机密方法 CRAM-MD5 和 DIGEST-MD5。
该指南似乎依赖 PAM 来规避这个限制，但我认为这是我的配置中不起作用的部分（数据库错误中没有秘密）。我从 /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf 中删除了 CRAM-MD5 和 DIGEST-MD5 机制，现在我可以使用 PLAIN 登录。
问题是这些密码现在以未加密的形式传输。还有一个奇怪的问题，我们的 Thunderbird 客户端似乎无法将消息保存到“已发送”文件夹，并且在传输完成后只是停留在发送进度条上。
我想继续配置 TLS 以使连接更安全，但到目前为止，这一直是一场噩梦，我几乎不敢再进一步，冒着破坏配置的风险。我对很多这些服务都不熟悉，希望能得到正确的指导。

让 SASL 工作是最困难的事情。无论如何，您已经让它工作了。继续按照 flurdy 的部分启用 TLS，该部分不会对您造成任何破坏。snakeoil 文件已经存在，因此无需生成 ssl 文件。
