Hi Thanks all for replies — just wanted to give an update so the solution can be in the mail archive.
I got it working :thumbsup: and was able to send email out through authenticated relay server. I now have: postconf -a cyrus dovecot postconf -A cyrus Answering the various questions I posed: 1. As confirmed in a couple of emails both Cyrus and Dovecot (SASL) are needed 2. Dovecot SASL is only needed for IMAP authentication 3. I didn’t install the whole (large) Cyrus IMAP server, I just installed Cyrus-SASL (info below) 4. I tried various ways for the ‘make makefiles’ options this was the final command line which worked OK (no errors in ‘make makefiles’ & ‘make’. make makefiles CCARGS="-DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DDEF_SERVER_SASL_TYPE=\\\"dovecot\\\" -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL -I/usr/local/include/sasl -DUSE_TLS" AUXLIBS="-lssl -lcrypto -L/usr/local/lib64 -lsasl2" 5. I saw that when I ran ‘make install’ again only changed files (executables) were updated — so that was good. Cyrus-SASL installation and setup for compiling =============================================== I didn’t (need to) install the whole Cyrus IMAP, I just installed Cyrus SASL. I installed the following RHEL packages, cyrus-sasl-devel was needed (obviously) for the include files: dnf install cyrus-sasl dnf install cyrus-sasl-lib dnf install cyrus-sasl-devel The lib files were not installed into /usr/lib but /usr/lib64, I then ran: ln -s /usr/include/sasl /usr/local/include/sasl ln -s /usr/lib64/sasl2 /usr/local/lib64/sasl2 to get symlinks under /usr/local (not sure why Postfix wants/needs them under /usr/local instead of /usr). I still need to study the Dovecot installation, setup and linking with Postfix but for SMTP sending it seems good.
