I understand you want to use Dovecot as SASL provider. In this case the configuration (see below) you are currently trying to use is leading you completely the wrong way. Take a look at the section "Configuring Dovecot SASL" in the SASL_README (/usr/share/doc/postfix/SASL_README.gz> that is shipped with Postfix. Here's what you basically need to do: 1. Configure Dovecot to provide an authentication socket for Postfix 2. Configure Postfix to use that socket. Step 2 might be a little extra complicated if you run your Postfix server chrooted, which is the default on Debian/Ubuntu machines. p...@rick -- All technical questions 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/>
