I'm trying to set up SMTP authentication on my server and am getting an authentication failed error. My client is set up to automatically select authentication method and tries CRAM_MD5. The http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL suggests "passdb pam" and "userdb passwd" -- is it possible to configure sasl authentication using a dovecot.conf like http://pastebin.com/6JWE5jp1?
Considering that this is related to Postfix, you might want to check out the information located at:
http://www.postfix.com/DEBUG_README.html
Specifically:
Provide output from the postfinger tool. This can be found at http://ftp.wl0.org/SOURCES/postfinger. #
If the problem is SASL related, consider including the output from the saslfinger tool. This can be found at http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/.
By the way, "getting an error" is useless information. Exactly "what" error are you getting. Using the tools shown above will greatly enhance the chances of correcting your problem.
