dovecot - Jul 2007 - Unable to send email out using Dovecot SASL

Hi,

I am currently using Dovecot 1.0.rc17 with Postfix 2.3.8 on Ubuntu. So far
I'm able to receive my email using dovecot pop3 but I can't send out the
email.
Anybody managed to get Postfix with Dovecot SASL support so far? What do I
missed out?

You must configure both of them - for working example see:

Upgrading to the release version of Dovecot would be a good idea. 
although it is not likely to be related to your trouble.

Yes. I use it all the time.

Probably nothing on the Dovecot side.

Outbound mail does not involve Dovecot except in providing 
authentication services for Postfix. You will need to at least share 
the error message you are getting for anyone to have any clue as to 
how to help, and probably your master.cf and main.cf files from 
Postfix as well.

This is *probably* better directed at the Postfix community, but 
there are likely to be people here who can help.

When you choose to use software with known bugs and security issues that
have already been fixed in later versions, you really should make sure
you know exactly what all of those issues are and whether or not they
affect you.

Why not? Error messages and a postconf -n might help here.

Have you read:
http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html
what were the results when you went through the troubleshooting steps?
