Thanks. I have changed that. >>4. useradd "cyruslmtp" with password "testing123" >> >> I think I found the cause to the problem.

I guess I will use TLS on top of PLAIN. But first I need to get postfix + cyrus working. I have been trying to get postfix + cyrus working on and off for a long time now.

Thanks. I will read up on those docs. I now have so many docs all over the net on my desk... Sorry I have been mixing you up and Luca Berra. 8) Regards, Norman
