From what I recall it's also necessary to tell postfix to use SASL and where to look for those credentials: in main.cf: smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl/sasl_passwd and 'postmap /etc/postfix/sasl/sasl_passwd' Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
