Is there an overview of your IMAP/POP3 server? Overview, tuturial, what dovecot does? newest features, etc? Well, there's http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailServerOverview and http://dovecot.org/talks/ The fellow who set up dovecoat origially has [ what I believe to be] an unnecessary SASL service. I would like to avoid all redundancies, save CPU, troubles, and so on. ... Your SMTP server might be authenticating using the SASL service. Yes, but because much of this was new I simply followed my friend's guidelines blindly. Here are what I did (cut-and-pasted) without understand much: Let me rephrase my previous post: I had installed the cyrus-sasl2 port. Can I safely remove this now and reply on the builtin dovecot SASL? -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.31a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php

So you need to keep using Cyrus SASL. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I thought this might be the case; and, looking over my friend's write-up, I see that he links cyrus into things-sendmail. ---I've used sendmail for too long to give it up now.

All right, then it's an MTA-side issue. Maybe I'll hack in the Dovecot support then.
