I have dovecot serving up imaps with virtual users delivering to a maildir and authenticating against a flat file. Now I am trying to get postfix to use sasl to authenticate a virtual user and allow the virtual user to send mail to an address on the public internet via smtps.
I recall reading in postfix docs that postfix cannot yet authenticate for smtp against dovecot in this situation. Do I just need to set up a separate store of accounts (e.g. sasldb) with the same account credentials? Really having a tough time finding docs for this specific setup, but it seems like it would be a rather common one. Any helpful information you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks, mwjones
