Have you told it to use dovecot for authentication? For example, I have: # SASL SMTP Authentication smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL will walk you through getting postfix to talk to dovecot. > > > note my dovecat mechanism set to = plain login as mentioned in the howto above Are you able to receive mails correctly with Outlook?
