So, if we are talking about authentication, I always get the error: Nov 11 14:10:05 goofy postfix/smtpd[8089]: warning: unknown[192.168.0.3]: SASL CRAM-MD5 authentication failed: PDcyNTc4NDY4NjgyMTIxMDEuMTE5NDc4MzAwM0Bnb29meS5jZWx1bG96YS5ybz4= Nov 11 14:10:05 goofy postfix/smtpd[8089]: A1338855EA1: client=unknown[192.168.0.3], sasl_method=PLAIN, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do i need to store the password in mysql with md5? I don't fully understand it... Why do i get that error? Now my "default_pass_scheme = CRYPT", and in mysql I'm using ENCRYPT when i store a password. I am using thunderbird 2, and my authentication mechanism: auth default { mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-userdb-sql.conf } socket listen { client { user = postfix group = postfix path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 } } }
