Andrew, Made the change on the backend server. Now is complains that remote server is unavailable and the corresponding log on the backend is saying "badlogin: 10.80.72.205 PLAIN SASL(-13): authentication failure: Password verification failed". At least they are talking now. I tried it with _mechs: PLAIN but when I do that I can't connect to the backend boxes from the frontend using telnet #mds01_mechs: PLAIN mds01_password: mypassword On the backend I have: proxyservers: murder and I set the password with both saslpasswd -c murder and passwd as well.

That should probably be: lmtp cmd="lmtpd" listen="lmtp" prefork=1 maxchild=100 You want one of them to listen on the lmtp network socket, rather than both listening on the lmtp unix socket. Andy
