Hello, I setup "The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 10.04 [ISPConfig 3]" a while ago and it has been working perfect for a while but today from no where when a user tries to send mail it asks for the user name and password, receiving (pop3) is still working fine, what could have happened over night and how can i fix it? thanks
In your email client you will need to enable "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" and set it to "Use same settings as my incoming mail server"
Hi, It is enabled and its all the addresses (I've got 8 addresses), and everything was working fine yesterday and i didnt change anything

You must (re)start saslauthd, if it´s not running. Check it with /etc/init.d/saslauthd status or ps -aux|grep saslauthd To start saslauth-daemon run /etc/init.d/saslauthd start
This is weird, one of my test servers (Ubuntu 13.04 / 3.0.5.2) stopped working with a similar error but I was changing it from dovecot/sieve to courier-imap/maildrop. I did an upgrade.php but I do not have the sasl files you mention, and indicated in other forums posts when searching for similar errors. My /etc/init.d/saslauthd is zero bytes and what is even more confusing is that my main working ispc system (still using dovecot) is the same, no real obvious sasl files I've seen in various posts and yet that server works just fine. As it turns out I solved my problem with this particular server by uninstalling postfix and setting up courier-mta instead... and it's working off the ispc auth tables in MySQL.
the other thing i've noticed is when i use the private ip for my incoming and outgoing server it works but when i use dns mail.myserver.com or public ip is asks for the password
