NAME

       saslfinger - A utility to collect SMTP AUTH relevant configuration for Postfix

SYNOPSIS

       saslfinger [-chs]

DESCRIPTION

       saslfinger is a utility to collect SMTP AUTH relevant configuration for Postfix. Depending on how you run
       it, it will search for information on server-side or client-side  SMTP  AUTH  configuration  settings  in
       Postfix and Cyrus SASL.

OPTIONS

       -c     If  you run saslfinger with the option -c it will collect data required for client-side SMTP AUTH.
              Client-side SMTP AUTH is when Postfix smtp daemon uses SMTP AUTH to  authenticate  itself  with  a
              remote mail server that offers SMTP AUTH.

              saslfinger  will  try  to  telnet  to  all hosts listed in smtp_sasl_password_maps, if it may read
              smtp_sasl_password_maps

              The telnet test verifies your host is able to  reach  the  remote  servers  and  shows  what  AUTH
              mechanisms they offer - in some cases this is required to debug client-side SMTP AUTH.

              Important:  By default smtp_sasl_password_maps must be read-only to root, since these maps contain
              the usernames and passwords to authenticate. If you run saslfinger  as  root  access  will  be  no
              problem, but saslfinger will fail if you lack the permissions to access smtp_sasl_password_maps.

              If you want to run the telnet test, but don't want to run saslfinger as root change permissions of
              smtp_sasl_password_maps so that the user running  saslfinger  may  access  smtp_sasl_password_maps
              while you debug.

              *note:  You  don't  need  to  worry  about saslfinger doing anything with the username or password
              stored next to the remote hosts in your  smtp_sasl_password_maps;  saslfinger  completely  ignores
              these informations!

       -h     If  you run saslfinger with the option -h it will print a little help message that tells you about
              the options you can use.

       -s     If you run saslfinger with the option -s it will collect data required for server-side SMTP  AUTH.
              Server-side SMTP AUTH is when Postfix smtpd daemon offers SMTP AUTH to mail clients.
