15:10 -!- rramsdell [~root@64.139.144.22] has joined #postfix
15:11 < rramsdell> I would like to understand which settings for SASL
	are in main.cf vs. master.cf submission port options.
15:12 < Dominian> !sasl
15:12 < knoba> Dominian: "sasl" : SASL is 'Simple Authentication and
	Security Layer', necessary for SMTP AUTH, and provided to
	Postfix by addin software. Cyrus SASL and/or Dovecot IMAP/POP3
	can provide SASL. See http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html
	for details.
15:12 < rramsdell> Does this doc define which settings need to be in
	main.cf and which are allowed in master.cf?
15:13 < rramsdell> Example : smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
15:13 < Dominian> I"m reading that as: does this document hold my hand
15:13 < Dominian> no
15:14 < thumbs> rramsdell: oh, you still have that hand-holding
	attitude?
15:16 < rramsdell> thumbs, oh you still have that " im a dick" attitude?
15:19 < rramsdell> Dominian, Why are you here? just to be a useless
	arrogant cocksucker?
15:21 < f3ew> rramsdell, you could have the same settings, or different
	ones
15:21 < f3ew> See postconf -n and master.cf
15:22 < Dominian> rramsdell: No.. I just don't like you
15:22 < Dominian> rramsdell: You're lazy.
15:22 < Dominian> and you expect us to hold your hand.
15:23 < rramsdell> Dominian, you have no idea what I do or how much time
	i spend doing it. So that clearly places you in the arrogant
	fucktard category.
15:23 < Dominian> Not really
15:23 < rramsdell> yes
15:23 < Dominian> I'm just as busy as any other admin out there, and I
	still read the documentation :)
15:24 < rramsdell> you assume I have not read a single doc, you are
	wrong
15:24 < Dominian> rramsdell: then why are you still asking the same
	questions?
15:24 < f3ew> IRCing as root?
15:24 < Dominian> ring around the rosey
15:24 < Dominian> f3ew: I did not see that.. interesting.
15:25 < thumbs> further, Dominian and I did not resort to calling others
	names.
15:25 < Dominian> rramsdell: to answer you previously, yes its tough to
	find documentation on what is allowed in master.cf blah blah
	blah, however, if you define something IN main.cf but you don't
	want it to apply to say.. submission in master.cf.. you have to
	negate it in master.cf
15:26 < thumbs> rramsdell: if you ever feel like blurting out insults,
	take a breather, step back from IRC, and come back when you're
	calmer.
15:26 < f3ew> Also, if you want service specific options, man
	 works
15:26 < Dominian> yeah, the names were a bit uncalled for, but
	frustration can definitely create that type of reaction,
	however, I out right told you Id idn't like you.. didn't have to
	curse you ;)
15:26 < f3ew> For smtpd, try man 8 smtpd
15:28 < rramsdell> Dominian, fine don't like someone who you know
	nothing about. Then please STFU with your bised repsonses. I am
	trying to get something done here on a very tight deadline
15:29 < f3ew> rramsdell, so what exactly do you want to do?
15:30 < thumbs> rramsdell: you're lucky f3ew is still willing to help
	you with that attitude.
15:30 < rramsdell> thumbs, oh and goes for you too. stfu
15:30 < rramsdell> who cares. if noone helps then so be it, but I am not
	going to take a bunch of crap
15:31 < Dominian> rramsdell: You came here for help.  Biting the hand
	that 'feeds' you is a bit stupid
15:31 < Dominian> but whatever floats your boat!
15:31 < Dominian> My install works fine :)  BACK TO WORK!
15:32 < rramsdell> Dominian, back to work where everybody thinks you a
	dick i bet. imean seriously.
15:33 < thumbs> rramsdell: your efforts would be much more useful if
	targeted at fixing the actual problem.
15:33 < f3ew> I think I amswered all his questions
15:33 < f3ew> answered
15:33 < Dominian> f3ew: for the 6th time
15:33 < thumbs> rramsdell: instead of falling into resent and obtaining
	IRC superiority by insulting other users, you could concentrate
	on fixing the problem.
15:34 < rramsdell> Dominian, he tried to help but not six times. Again
	you are an arrogant dick that should be banned. Your type of
	help comes at a price
15:34 < rramsdell> oh and your ass buddy thumbs
15:34 < thumbs> rramsdell: if you keep this up, I'll go ahead and mute
	you, FYI.
15:34 < f3ew> Now now
15:35 < f3ew> No call for threats. Either kick, or stay silent
15:35 < rramsdell> oh my, you actually have authority here? If i did,
	you would be gone in a sec for real. Yoyu have no business being
	in a public forum
15:36 < rramsdell> f3ew, serioulsy, i did not start this.
15:37 < f3ew> rramsdell do you have any more questions to be answered?
15:38  * f3ew isn't interested in dick-size wars here
15:38 < rramsdell> and I simply came here to clarify some points about
	the SASL configuration regarding the master.cf and main.cf.
15:42 < rramsdell> f3ew, it actually works, but I wanted to tweak my
	settings regarding SASL/TLS in the files master.cf & main.cf
15:44 < rramsdell> it looks like the main dovecot SASL configuration
	should be included in main.cf. such as : smtpd_sasl_type &&
	smtpd_sasl_path
15:45 < rramsdell> It may be that these are the only two needed in
	main.cf when SALS/TLS in not needed for port 25 and the rest of
	the SASL/TLS options should be added to master.cf
15:46 < rramsdell> Also noted that postfix SASL settings are included
	from dovecot.conf
16:15 < Dominian> rramsdell: You still working on the SASL Stuff?  Do
	you by chance have logs from postfix and dovecot?
16:16 < Dominian> rramsdell: Now that I see you DID read the
	documentation I'm more willing to assist ;)
16:16 < Dominian> :)
16:19 < rramsdell> Dominian, seriously thanks but I preety will solve it
	on my own
16:20 < Dominian> That's fine.  That will definitely earn respect around
	here.. more so than name calling that's for sure :)
16:24 < rramsdell> to be honest, i wasnt really being serious when I
	wrote "thanks"
16:24 -!- rramsdell [~root@64.139.144.22] has left #postfix
	["Konversation terminated!"]
16:24 < Dominian> ahhh 'last word syndrome'
16:24 < Dominian> Seems its spreading
16:25 < lunaphyte_> i gave up on him a while ago.
16:27 < thumbs> lunaphyte_: you too?
16:32 < Dominian> lunaphyte_: I've given up on him, finally.
16:33 < thumbs> his snide attitude is quite annoying, in the long run.
16:33 < Dominian> yep
16:33 < Dominian> and he resorts to name calling and stupid retorts
	thinking he's making a point.
16:34 < Dominian> the only point he made is: Hey.. I'm lazy.  I can't do
	the job I'm being paid for and you're an ass becaue you won't do
	my job for me
16:34 < Dominian> at least, that's what I get from it
16:35 < thumbs> Dominian: I've seen many folks stuck in a position they
	were not qualified for to begin with, and act in a similar
	fashion.
