Re: postfix sasl (dovecot) works no more

I think the problem is deeper.
The 25/tcp port is open but I can't ehlo the server.

[...@toshiba ~]$telnet server_domain 25
Trying 80.96.x.x...
Connected to server_domain.
Escape character is '^]'.

And get stucked there !

You need to update your main.cf:smtpd_sasl_path setting and specify
the location of the socket that the Dovecot server listens on.

For example, when dovecot.conf says:

    socket listen {
	...
	path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
	...

Then main.cf would say:

    smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
    smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
