Please include the following information, so we can get a better idea of your setup: Postfix and Cyrus IMAP version Postfix SASL config: grep sasl main.cf cat /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf (or wherever smtpd.conf it located on your system) Your cyrus imap.conf config saslauthd does not support cram-md5 or digest-md5, so you may be (also) using the sasldb auxprop in Postfix. - Dan ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
