saslauthd dies

[Aleksander Kikkas]

Hello,

Problem 1.
Using OXAE in production, the strange things start happening. Severeal times a day, suddenly not possible to login through imap. Log into the OXAE enviroment is possible but no mailbox access. - maillog shows authentication failure. The open-xchange log shows the same:

Restarting manually "saslauthd" daemon temporarly solves the problem.

NB! All the stuff is in the same machine, i mean mailserver - Default Univention OXAE installation.


Problem 2.

Is the spamfilter working by default or it is nessecary to change config files manually - tons of spam getting through, no matter marking the spam

Problem 3.
3 months ago we bought OXAE and still no solution for the ´õ´ character problem.


Best regards

Hi,

I think I had the same problem! Did you try this solution:

Concern:

When working in the Groupware-GUI sometimes accessing the mailbox fails with the error message:

"Connection was refused or timed out while attempting to connect to remote server for user tester@example.com"

The following error is shown in /var/log/mail.log

Mar 20 12:00:33 mail cyrus/imap[5231]: badlogin: example.com
[192.168.178.5] plaintext tester@example.com SASL(-13): authentication failure: checkpass failed

Reason:

This is a known missbehaviour of the saslauthd service. To workaround the issue the following options must be used
in the /etc/default/saslauthd config file:

OPTIONS="-n 0 /etc/default/saslauthd"

Afterwards the saslauthd service must be restared with:

/etc/init.d/saslauthd restart

* OS Component
* OXAE
* Workaround
