    NO No, the server may be working, you just used my username / password combination with out changing it,

    You NEED to generate your own base64 encoded username / password. using a username and password that exist on the server.

    O, oops :)

    System user/pass or virtual one in mysql for email? :/

    I used here system one

    Code:
    telnet 85.17.200.71 25
    Trying 85.17.200.71...
    Connected to server.85.17.200.71 (85.17.200.71).
    Escape character is '^]'.
    220 server.85.17.200.71
    ehlo me

    That is when i changed user pass... but with other pass i use usually works well..

     telnet 85.17.200.71 25
    Trying 85.17.200.71...

    So now you agree that it is the M$ mail client that is brain dead.

    the M$??

    So what should i do with it now... i really have no idea anymore what to do to it

    Well since you pay for the Licence anyway, its time to get your moneys worth, phone M$

    you have a windows licence so M$ must provide you with support

    ??????

    What are you talking about, you make me confused really... have no idea what/how/etc

    I am saying speak to M$ technical support and let they debug the problem.

    So you say that i talk to provider where i rent dedicated server at? :/

    Might it be my hostnames? I am all confused about it... On domain i have few A records for subdomains and www. and just domain, on ip reverse lookup i set server.***.com and for second ip server1.***.com

    too much linux stuff for me to learn :( :)

    The problem as you saw with your test is not the server, your server is working properly the only reason you cannot authenticate and send mail is because the windows mail client you are using is brain dead, if you want to continue using windows mail then talk to Microsoft to help you fix the client, our use something else.

    But your server is fine as you can see that when you connect to it via telnet you can authenticate.

    The problem is the client NOT the server.

    Ooo, better :)

    I will test some other client then.. maybe outlook on windows xp on my other pc and i might install thunderbird and test with it too, then i reply here...

    Thx

    Just a question, this is edit msg

    Is this ok for dovecot...? It is different then in that guide because it didn't work before

    Code:
    auth default {
      # Space separated list of wanted authentication mechanisms:
      #   plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm rpa apop anonymous gssapi
      mechanisms = plain login
    and this in dovecot-sql config

    Code:
    default_pass_scheme = PLAIN-MD5
    ...

    And one more thing about postfix i noticed, it says no tls in logs, but i have created certificates and path is ok

    Code:
    smptpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/server/mail/smtpd.crt
    smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/server/mail/smtpd.key
    smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/server/mail/cacert.pem
    this is from log: warning: No server certs available. TLS won't be enabled
