I have followed this guide step by step and have come across this problem. I have formatted and started again and still get the same problem If i telnet to the server i get this: # telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. In the error log i get this: Sep 25 14:14:10 mail postfix/smtpd[17476]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms Sep 25 14:14:11 mail postfix/master[8082]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 17476 exit status 1 Sep 25 14:14:11 mail postfix/master[8082]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling anyone got any ideas as im pulling my hair out! TIA
