smtp_auth problem

I got the 2.3.2 installed on Debian 4. the machine is being used primarily as a web server/database (no emailbox'es etc).

I want to configure the machine to send smtp emals, but only after authorisation. I cant seem to be able to login with the smtp and keep getting the error. I have tried so many things it not true (most of this afternoon). If someone can please help !!

PHP:

535 5.7.0 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure

and the mail.log shows

PHP:

That path led me to this little tutorial which I followed http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/smtpauth/smtp_auth_mailservers.html

I have got the /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd file created with

PHP:

master.daffodil.uk.com shellUserName:secretPass

The userName was an user created on the shell after ISPCOnfig was installed (ie not created by ISPCOnfig). The file has been

PHP:

postmap hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd to create .db

I started the sasl deamon

It works, but can I add local user

I followed the setup above and it works great (missed on bit), but only with an email/smtp user from within the "ISPConfig" system.

I have created another user, with root acccess on the shell, in fact my "sudo" account, if there a way to add this user to the "smtp" authentication.

Also my suddomain which is the "machine account", i have pointed to /var/www/sharedip, ie mymachine.domain.tld, is there an easy way to "import" or enter this into ISPConfig if or is necessary?"]

hope you understand what I mean.
