so what did you do to configure SASL? you missed the welcome message stating at least "postconf -n" for problem reports because you provided zero informatuin __________________________________________ since you mention dbmail i would in general suggest using dovecot as proxy which also can be used for SASL and that way provides the same auth-mechs for POP3/IMAP/SMTP with the same user-database look at the dbmail-list-archives, there are tons of informations with full working example configurations, since i worte them multiple times there i am tired to search and reapeat it __________________________________________ basic configurations postfix/dovceot SASL postfix: smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth dovecot: # configure backend for postfix sasl-auth service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } }
