By the way: I'm just curious, what does the string "UGFzc3dvcmQ6" in
the
failed authentication message mean? I get it with every such attempt.
$ echo "UGFzc3dvcmQ6" |base64 -D
Password:
When you see "SASL LOGIN authentication failed: UGFzc3dvcmQ6" logged by
Postfix, it indicates that an incorrect password was provided, in the
second step of the LOGIN mechanism, in response to the prompt "334
UGFzc3dvcmQ6" which is sent by the server. It is also possible for
Postfix to log "SASL LOGIN authentication failed: VXNlcm5hbWU6" which
indicates a failure at the first stage of the LOGIN mechanism.
