I'm having problems with SASL and SSL on SMTP.
Here are my logs from a connection request
postfix/smtpd[2699]: connect from (outside host)
postfix/smtpd[2699]: setting up TLS connection from (outside host)
postfix/smtpd[2699]: SSL_accept error from (outside host_: -1
postfix/smtpd[2699]: lost connection after STARTTLS from (outside host)
postfix/smtpd[2699]: disconnect from (outside host)
postfix/smtpd[2714]: warning: xsasl_cyrus_server_get_mechanism_list: no

postfix/master[1746]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup

OK... and HERE is what happens when I don't use SSL
postfix/master[2811]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 2822 exit
status 1
postfix/master[2811]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup

imapd-ssl: LOGIN, [EMAIL PROTECTED], ip=[::ffff:(outside host)],
port=[49997], protocol=IMAP
IMAP is connecting fine (over ssl) and SMTP still won't connect at all
(using the same credentials on the same database)

I was following the following guide from Flurdy
