The error message means the mail was rejected by reject_unauth_destination, and that means the client didn't authenticate (or tried and failed). If AUTH was tried and failed, it will be noted in the postfix and dovecot logs. If no failures are logged, AUTH wasn't attempted. This may or may not have anything to do with SSL/TLS. Another good guess is that dovecot needs to offer LOGIN and/or PLAIN mechanisms. But we're just guessing here. We need more details of the connection and configuration to give more concrete advice. http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail -- Noel Jones
