Hi,

I followed directions here:
http://library.linode.com/email/postfix/dovecot-mysql-debian-6-squeeze#sph_configure-saslauthd-to-use-mysql
to set up postfix/dovecot to mail from my linode running squeeze.

I can now, either on that server or from home, collect mail from my
domain with mutt, but when I try to send mail, I get a warning that the
certificate hostname doesn't match the server, 
and, even when choosing (o) accept once
// no (a) accept all option here //
I get 
Sasl authentication failed.

The one thing that I question is this:
hostname on the server gives me
$hostnamethatIassigned
hostname -f on that server gives me
$hostnamethatIassigned.linode.com
so this is what I put for the FDQN, according to the tutorial.
But I've set up mail for the domain
mail.tonybaldwin.org

imap is working, smtp is not
But this is the first ever I have tried to set up a mail server, so I'm
at a loss.
Should I have entered my own domain for the fdqn?
I didn't think so, since I set my domain in the virtualhost for postfix.
But the certificate/hostname not matching makes me question this.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Tony
