As pointed out by Will, the program listening on port 25 for smtpd connections is Sendmail version 8.14. This is, I imagine, the default MTA installed on a Debian system which from the output of your telnet session indicates you're using.
When you installed Postfix was it from the Debian apt repositories? It should have made the necessary changes to you system to make Postfix the local MTA; for example, on some systems, like OpenBSD which I use, Sendmail is disabled by editing the file /etc/mailer.conf which points programs to the postfix binaries had that been the MTA I wanted to install. Also, Sendmail is disabled by adding sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf.local and adding a similar line for postfix but setting "YES" so it's the postfix binaries that are started at system boot time. So the point here being, that you need to disable Sendmail and enable Postfix. I don't use Linux, and never have, so I'm not sure on the method Debian uses to change the MTA. Check the Debian documentation and mailing list archives to see how to achieve that. Also, the main.cf snippets you provided showing sasl configuration are for smtp, i.e. outgoing - perhaps you meant to set up sasl auth settings for incoming, i.e. smtpd The best thing do now is to check the Debian docs to find out how to change your MTA to Postfix and disable Sendmail. Then double check if it's incoming or outgoing sasl auth you're trying to achieve and post your postfix configuration to this list using the output of the postconf -n command and explain in more detail what it is you're having difficulty with. -- Primary Key: 4096R/1D31DC38 2011-12-03 Key Fingerprint: A4B9 E875 A18C 6E11 F46D B788 BEE6 1251 1D31 DC38
