note to self: read notes to self
Thursday, Nov 22. 2007 – Category: Grommit
Urgh. Just spent 45 minutes trying to debug why my Postfix + Dovecot SASL setup wasn’t working. Reading the (very concise & well written) HOWTO on how to test it, it still wasn’t working. I knew how to do it, so I totally ignored reading my ~/Documents/Grommit/POSTFIXREADTHIS_IDIOT doc I wrote to myself last time I did this.
Finally, after 45 minutes – I gave up, and read my note to self I wrote 3 years ago. A very important line at the bottom said:
“If you have Perl special characters ($, &) in your password, don’t forget to escape them or the password base64 encoding won’t work. You just wasted an hour on this, dumbass.”
Sigh. I just updated it to “You just wasted an hour and 45 minutes on this, dumbass.”
