Postfix and Dovecot both use the Dovecot authentication methods. Dovecot works, Postfix doesn't. Where's the difference? What happens if you try an IMAP "login" on command line and send the same credentials? If you send the same credentials and it succeeds, then something between Postfix and the Dovecot auth socket is probably wrong. If IMAP login fails too, then you probably send the wrong credentials during SMTP AUTH and you should find out what is sent during IMAP login. p...@rick -- All technical questions asked privately will be automatically answered on the list and archived for public access unless privacy is explicitely required and justified. saslfinger (debugging SMTP AUTH): <http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/>
