Hello, I have Dovecot and Postfix both running Plain SASL Auth. I can send mail via SASL with no problems as verified by my server logs. However, I can also still send mail WITHOUT using SASL as well.
I have my mail server on the same subnet as the client computer I am doing the testing with. When I want to send mail to a system users (i.e. a domain postfix is receiving mail for) I don't seem to have to use SASL to send mail to that address. However, it seems that I have to use SASL to relay mail. Postfix won't let me relay WITHOUT using SASL which is fine. That is what I want. However, I still need SASL to work when a client is attempting to send mail to a local user. I don't have access to my master.cf right now as I am away from the server. However, I know that I have the mynetworks set as 127.0.0.1/8. That, to me, would say that anything other than local host would NOT be a trusted user/connection. However, if I look through my logfile, Postfix is I.D.'ing the computer connecting to the server as "LOCAL". Any ideas? Again, without me attaching the master.cf files, it is a shot in the dark. But I thought someone might have an idea... Thanks! Rodman
