I have been fighting with this for almost 2 days. I can't seem to get the SMTP server to authenticate through SASL. I have turned so many things off and on, I don't remember what I've done, anymore. Can someone look at these and tell me what I'm missing. I get this in the log, anytime postfix tries to authenticate.

This looks more of a postfix than dovecot issue, the error is really odd though. Aki On 24.9.2019 22.51, Christopher Wooley via dovecot wrote:> I have been fighting with this for almost 2 days.

I figured it out. The setting, in Postfix, smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes needs to be smtp*d*_sasl_auth_enable = yes (without the stars). Somewhere, out there, someone's directions are incorrect.

Apparently Analagous Threads
- Can't Get SASL to Work
- Dovecot delivering mail in the wrong directory location
- trying to authenticate postfix against Dovecot 2.3.4.1 passwd-file, using lmtp
- Can't receive mail from outside
- Postfix delivers mails to maildir and not to dovecot LDA for a virtual user
