I'm playing with postfix configuration for the first time. I'm trying to set up the postfix user authentication through MySQL (I use the standard configuration with postfixadmin, courier, etc.) The problem is that I'm not able to authenicate (even in thunderbird or squirremail web interface) or even send any mail from postfixadmin.

/var/log/mail.err

etc/postfix/mysql_relay_domains_maps.cf

user = postfix
password = XXXXXXXXXXX
hosts = 127.0.0.1
dbname = postfix
table = domain
select_field = domain
where_field = domain
additional_conditions = and backupmx = ′1′

Does anybody see any problem somewhere? I'm completely lost. .-/

Thanks Devdas, I've changed all MySQL queries to "query = ..." based and it seams that it works. On the other hand, I still can't login. If I try to login it simply logs:

Jan 30 13:55:48 envelon imapd: LOGIN FAILED, [email protected], ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Jan 30 13:55:53 envelon imapd: LOGOUT, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], rcvd=52, sent=332

and

Jan 30 14:35:21 server postfix/trivial-rewrite[30680]: warning: table "mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_domains_maps.cf": empty lookup result for: "domain.de" -- ignored

Maybe the problem will be with the password because if I look to the database the hash for same passwords are different. But I'm pretty sure that the postfixadmin and courier password setup are OK. Or I don't see any folders in /home/virtual which is the home folder for virtual user

If i try to send an email from postfixadmin it works fine!:-)

Any suggestions?

The answer is in your MySQL query logs.

Also, the recommended way is to use query instead of table, select_field, where_field and additional_conditions.

query = SELECT d.domain FROM domain AS d WHERE d.domain = '%s' AND backupmx = 1

I aliased domain to d to make it easier for you to know which is the table and which the column.
