Re: No-novice with Dovecot, but need novice-like advice (was Dovecot cracked?!)

However if your dovecot SASL is broken, say always permitting access with or without correct password, then there will be a problem

I DID find a discrepancy: smtpd_helo_restrictions did NOT have permit_sasl_authenticated. I made the change, of course and with that done, am now going to open the ports and renew my vigil for relays!

Fingers crossed!

Thanks, Jeremy - even if it doesn't work, it's a good clean shot at a fix! And, if that was it, it's easy to see how that could be overlooked. . .
