Hello thank you for your answer
when I have this user in my passdb file franco@ozzir.ch:{plain}password::::::proxy host=xx.xx.xx.xx postfix sasl accept only the password => password
When I have this user in my passdb file franco@ozzir.ch:::::::nopassword proxy host=xx.xx.xx.xx postfix sasl accept any password
as I said imap and pop3 refuse always a bad password
this is my postfix config
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth # and the common settings to enable SASL: smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_sender_login_mismatch, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sender_login_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-smtpd_sender_login_maps.cf
#for outlook 2003 and outlook express > v6 broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
