However, if you use its SASL, that's not entirely true if you're relying on normal message injection methods (smtpd), postfix will bail. /etc/rc.d/rc.dovecot stop Stopping dovecot POP3/IMAP daemon... Done. Stopping IMAP Proxy... Done. telnet 10.10.0.10 25 Trying 10.10.0.10... Connected to mx3. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. postfix/smtpd[386]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms But this I feel is (if it can be really called an error at all) postfix's failure, not Dovecots.
