I found the error. It was that relayhost was defined elsewhere in main.cf as
relayhost = outgoing.verizon.net therefore I needed the following in sasl_passwd: outgoing.verizon.net <username>:<passwd> (without the '[' and ']') Finally, I had a missing link to my SASL2 plugin directory so Postfix was not able to find the plugin for PLAIN authentication. Thanks for the help though. Ido mouss wrote: > Ido Dubrawsky wrote: >> I've built Postfix 2.5.4 with Cyrus SASL 2.1.2 on a Solaris 10 05/08 >> Ultra 10.
