authentication mechanisms
Your DOVECOT configuration provides no authentication mechanisms
that are allowed by POSTFIX smtpd_sasl_security_options.

Thanks for your answer. I'm not quite sure I understand it though. This
is how I understand the situation currently: Postfix has (by default)
disabled anonymous auth mechanisms. But it does allow plaintext auth. My
dovecot provides plain and login. So if I understand correctly, the
dovecot plain should be fine?
Postfix receives no methods from the Dovecot authentication server
that satisfy the smtpd_sasl_security_options requirement. If you
don't believe this, then you can try to trace the conversation
between Postfix and the Dovecot authentication server.

Hi Wietser,
Don't get me wrong, I do believe you if you say so, but I just don't
understand why. Given my dovecot config, which I believe is a quite
standard way of configuring dovecot , I have no idea why it doesn't
work. I've seen similar config files when searching the web, and they
seem to work. Do you have any suggestions as to what could be wrong with
my dovecot config?
Thanks in advance,
juhis
