That's correct. Dovecot provides server SASL (clients connecting to postfix), but not client SASL (outgoing from postfix to some other server). > > I try to start dovecot and I get: I'm pretty sure the examples in the postfix docs are for dovecot 1, and not appropriate for dovecot 2. Someone should probably submit a documentation update that covers all dovecot versions. For dovecot 2.x, see the dovecot wiki. -- Noel Jones
