If there is no mention of sasl in the logs, that usually means the host you list in sasl_password_maps doesn't match what postfix is connecting to. > relayhost = AAAA.AAA.AA.AAA:25 > smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl/passwd The host listed in /etc/postfix/sasl/password must match the relayhost string verbatim. AAAA.AAA.AA.AAA:25 user:password Often the relayhost needs to be enclosed in brackets to disable MX lookups. Double check to be sure the correct IP is being used. If you do use brackets in the relayhost setting, remember they must also be included in the sasl password map. relayhost = [A.B.C.D]:25 [A.B.C.D]:25 user:passsword > smtp_use_tls = no Really? Using AUTH PLAIN over an unencrypted connection? Does the server even offer AUTH without TLS? How did you test? > smtpd_tls_loglevel = 2 Not related to your problem, but this should be 0 or 1. -- Noel Jones
