actually the point is i already configured mail server i can send receive emails. and i thought posfix should have prompt me for PAM password and i could also authenticate all the user for smtp password like all the ISPs are doing.. however it does not happened. even after SASL. what is the purpose of SASL my outlook got a certificate and now password is working only for IMAP not for smtp. what is the benefit of it. sorry for asking the same question but actually it is very difficult to understand the wholedocument it is bringing down my moral. and already i have invested a whole week just to configure postfix+dovecat+sasl :(
