PasswdFile seems what you want: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/**AuthDatabase/PasswdFilehttp://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile

Actually i did try this , i created a file called

cat /etc/dovecot/passwd agnello:123456

i also added in dovecot

passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/dovecot/passwd}

But still its gives me a relay access denied .

You need to configure Postfix to use dovecot as SASL provider. There are some Howto's in the wiki.

If you cannot solve it with this please provide dovecot -n, postfix -n and logs with auth_debug=yes.
