Hi All,

I have a query on SASL mechanism.

I have enabled 3 mechanisms and that can be seen as : -

ehlo localhost
250-proxy.test.com
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-STARTTLS
250-AUTH LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN
250-AUTH=LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250 DSN


Here I have 3 mechanism and they should authenticate in the order advertised
by the server correct ?

 I read on postfix forums that Postfix always uses the most secure mechanism
when several are offered. So in this case which one will be used ? Will
LOGIN be used first ?

Even though my smtpd.conf  has mech_list: CRAM-MD5 PLAIN LOGIN setting but
still server advertises LOGIN first why ?

 Can anyone help me with this ?
