Why do you believe that there is a problem with SASL authentication between the PHP application and Postfix? Your posting provides no concrete symptoms (logging!) that would allow the list to help you towards a solution. It is not unusual for people to confuse authentication and encryption. http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail. DO NOT TURN ON VERBOSE LOGGING until asked to do so. The default Postfix logging may look like useless garbage to you, but it provides a lot of detail that gets drowned out out when you open the firehose. Wietse
