Considering that this is related to Postfix, you might want to check
out the information located at:

http://www.postfix.com/DEBUG_README.html

Specifically:

Provide output from the postfinger tool. This can be found at
http://ftp.wl0.org/SOURCES/postfinger. #

If the problem is SASL related, consider including the output from the
saslfinger tool. This can be found at
http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/.

By the way, "getting an error" is useless information. Exactly "what"
error are you getting. Using the tools shown above will greatly enhance
the chances of correcting your problem.
