       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.

-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.
