sasl service for other app

[justina colmena ~biz]

Okay.  Let's try this. With the snippet you posted from
    "/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf "
inside the "service auth {...}" section. 

This is from my "/etc/postfix/master.cf"

> submission inet n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
> #  -o syslog_name=postfix/submission

>   -o smtpd_sasl_security_options=noanonymous
