Hi. I'm trying to get Dovecot - Postfix - SASL to work. But I need some
help.

Dovecot v1.0.rc14
Postfix 2.3.4

dovecot.conf
----------------
auth default {
  mechanisms = plain login

  passdb pam {
  }
  passdb passwd {
  }

  socket listen {
    client {
      path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
      mode = 0660
      user = postfix
      group = postfix
    }
  }
}

postfix/main.cf
------------------
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes

smtpd_recipient_restrictions     permit_mynetworks,
    permit_sasl_authenticated,
    reject_unauth_destination

broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes


telnet test session
