Hi,
I'm running a postfix smtp relay server on which users are getting authenticated trough sasl via the dovecot authentication service. This works
without problems.
Recently I extended my configuration to authenticate users with the PLAIN mechanism against Azure AD B2C with oauth2 in the future.
Important to mention is that currently no users are stored in Azure B2C. I only prepared the hole configuration and authentiucation falls back to
mysql database.
Now sometimes I get the error below in my logs (not permanently):
...

After the error above postfix says the connection to the authentication server was lost:
