here is what I got with the ls command

Hrm, that’s the same permissions that had been on it before.
Had you run the "chmod" command I had mentioned earlier?
If you run "chmod 755 /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd", it should change the permissions you see on the above.

OK, so I’ve missed most of this thread, so forgive me if this is dumb.
But, if you’re using @ in your usernames, you may need to configure saslauthd to accept them. This is not on, by default, in newer versions of saslauthd (because @ in usernames is a bit problematic in some circumstances and can lead to routing weirdness in non-simple deployments). This is covered in the FAQ about @ in usernames: http://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/id,frequently_asked_questions/#what_s_the_deal_with_in_mailbox_usernames
Basically you need to add -r to the options when starting saslauth.
If you aren’t using @ in usernames, then you can completely ignore this comment, as it is not relevant to your deployment.
I have ran the chmod, and I just ran it again to ensure, and got teh same result when I did the ls command

I am not using @ in the names, I am using the name.domain for the usernames that was the default setup when I installed virtualmin
Actually, that’s different that time around – the permissions showing on “.” there have changed.
Can you try restarting saslauth and attempt to send another email?
-Eric
I have restarted saslauth several times and still nothing?
could this be due to that we are still running off of my domain registrars DNS servers untill I get my other static IP addresses from my ISP?
would it help if I uninstall and re-instal sasl?
I am still having issues with that and can’t seem to get it to work
many thanks
Howdy,
Re-installing sasl isn’t likely to help with this particular issue.
It’s been a couple of days, can you post a recent copy of the error that shows up in your mail logs when attempting to send an email?
In regards to your DNS server question, it shouldn’t matter what DNS server you’re using, so long as the DNS server is returning the correct IP addresses.

the DNS server shows my internal ip address of my network, as I only have the static ip address which is going to the modem. would it help if I get more static ip addresses from my ISP, and that way i could get a static ip address for my linux server as well?
many thanks
Hrm, well, you’re still getting permission denied errors in communicating with the saslauthd daemon – in theory, updating the permissions on that dir should have fixed that.
Would you mind if I logged in to take a look?
If that’s okay, what I’d need are root login details – you can email them to eric@virtualmin.com. Include a link to this thread if you can.
Also, if you happen to have an email account I can use to test, that’d be helpful.
Thanks!
