The postfix package in [extra] is compiled with sasl support:

pacman -S postfix cyrus-sasl

An example line for the /etc/postfix/main.cf file to enable the SASL is below.

mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain
myorigin = $mydomain
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtpd_sasl_tls_security_options = $smtpd_sasl_security_options
smtpd_tls_auth_only = no
smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $mydomain
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject_unauth_destination,permit
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
relay_domains = *

You might want to change various options to suit your needs though. Setup Postfix as you normally would and start it. If you want to start it at boot time see Daemons#Starting_on_boot.

SASL can use different authentication methods. The default one is PAM (as configured in /etc/conf.d/saslauthd), but to set it up properly you have to create /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf:

pwcheck_method: saslauthd
saslauthd_path: /var/run/saslauthd/mux
mech_list: plain login
log_level: 7

To read about other authentication methods please refer to http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html

To start all the daemons:

systemctl start postfix
systemctl start saslauthd

Hopefully you should be able to telnet to your Postfix server with :

telnet localhost 25

You should then type :

EHLO test.com

This is roughly what you should see :

Trying 127.0.0.1...
