Hello,
Could you share the postfix log?
Is the username/password for your smtp the same as for your ldap/imap server?

Subject: [SOGo] External SMTP with user auth
Hello people,
I am trying to setup sogo for my small team. What I managed to do is to setup a
leightweight ldap (lldap) and connect it to my sogo. Since the user basis is
the same there as in my mail server, that is connected via IMAP, I can
instantly read the mails in SOGo, which is quite nice.
Whats not working is the SMTP. When I send an E-Mail, I get an auth error. In
the SMTP log I see, that the AUTH plain does not send any user/pass parameter.
How can I make SOGO do that?
The goal is, that a user can simply send an email in their name over the
external SMTP server. I do not want to burden myself to host a custom SMTP,
since we already have the other one.
This is the log:
```
S: <SMTP-Reply: code=220 line='kundenserver.de (mreue011) Nemesis ESMTP Service
ready'>
C: EHLO 8fa13e4caad7
S: <SMTP-Reply: code=250 line='SIZE 141557760'>
S: size extension supported.
S: plain auth extension supported.
C: AUTH plain
2025-05-13 15:28:04.541 sogod[176:176] SMTP: reply has invalid format (334)
C: QUIT
S: <SMTP-Reply: code=501 line='Syntax error in parameters or arguments'> ```
And this is my shortened and simplified configuration. I am open for any hint!
```
