Hallo, There are the following error messages in my mail.warn: Code: warning: SASL authentication failure: Can only find author (no password) warning: someispdomainname.net[11.22.33.44]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: bad protocol / cancel I don't know if they are from IMAP, POP3 or SMTP... But I'm shure they are from a client because the 11.22.33.44 (changed of course) is my own IP now. My suggest is the errors are from SMTP... However, I have to find the problem. Does anybody know what to do? SASL PLAIN is maybe the Option "password" (other Options are "md5 chellange response", "Kerberos Version 5 (GSSAPI)" and "NTLM"). I don't know the other options. They are selectable in my mac mail Program ;-) The first message maybe means, that the user has not authenticate with a password. He only use a username with blank password... But I can't imagine that thats the fact because I have entered a password for both (IMAP and SMTP) on my mashine. [EDIT] I found some new messages in mail.log Code: Apr 27 00:19:18 meinedomain postfix/smtpd[27837]: connect from dslb-011-022-033-044.pools.arcor-ip.net[11.22.33.44] Apr 27 00:19:18 meinedomain

This does not seem to be a config problem on the server, your mailclient seems to use a unsupported protocol. Which mailclient do you use and which authentication protocol? Supported protocols are "plain" and "login".
