Is the concatenation of smtpd_sasl_local_domain and smtpd_sasl_path on purpose? It usually should be: smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_path = smtpd As for your problem: If no application is required to authenticate when it connects on localhost set this and AUTH will not be offered on localhost: smtpd_sasl_exception_networks = 127.0.0.0/8 The other, right way [tm] to solve your problem would be to tell the app that connects on localhost to stop trying to authenticate if it hasn't been configured to do so. p...@rick -- All technical answers asked privately will be automatically answered on the list and archived for public access unless privacy is explicitely required and justified. saslfinger (debugging SMTP AUTH): <http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/>
