Thank you so much that was it! I just migrated from one server to another and that line did not made it in the new dovecot.conf file.
Well i need to use diff more. Thanks again

Hi!
I have a similar configuration - and run into the same problem before two weeks.
As I remember I expanded the following line in dovecot.conf: --> mechanisms = plain login <--
It works for me and hopefully it is the correct solution (even if I am no dovecot-expert).
Kind regards,

Hello all i have postfix running with dovecot-sasl and mysql as a backend. It all runs good.
I run into trouble as where outlook 2003 fails to authenticate when sending e-mail. I have thunderbird outlook2007 and 2003 clients. The tunderbird and 2007 clients are working OK, the outlook2003 client get the relay access denied message. In the postfix log i see it is not initiating sasl
they all use pop
i use dovecot 1.0.13 this is my posfix part of sasl
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_exceptions_networks = $mynetworks broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination permit smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
and this is my dovecot sasl part # dovecot SASL socket listen { client { # Assuming the default Postfix $queue_directory setting path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 # Assuming the default Postfix user and group user = postfix group = postfix } }
Am i doing something wrong? I guess if it is not configured right outlook 2007 and thunderbird will fail also!
