You didn't show your "postconf -n" output, so we're reduced to guessing. Common problem: AUTH seems to be working, but I don't see AUTH announced when I telnet localhost. Typically this means you've set "smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes", which suppresses the AUTH announcement until after an encrypted session is established -- which is a usually good thing. To see the AUTH announcement, either temporarily set "smtpd_tls_auth_only = no", or test with "openssl s_client -connect localhost:25 -starttls smtp" -- Noel Jones
