Hi. I followed this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-with-postfix-courier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-debian-squeeze to install functional Email system on my server. Everything works fine If I use a webmail application (I'm using roundcube at the moment). But when I try to use Thunderbird something mess up with SMTP authentication. I can read Emails, move them between folders, but i can't send and, by checking the log i found this error: warning: 93-40-75-91.ip37.fastwebnet.it[93.40.75.91]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: warning: 93-40-75-91.ip37.fastwebnet.it[93.40.75.91]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: UGFzc3dvcmQ6 il post here below my configuration MAIN.CF Code: # Network/Connections myhostname = mydomain.com myorigin = /etc/mailname mydestination = relayhost = mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 inet_interfaces = all default_destination_concurrency_limit = 2 # Databases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases # SASL / SMTP authentication smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes # TLS parameters smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.cert smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.key smtpd_use_tls = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache # Security/Relay smtpd_delay_reject = yes smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_invalid_hostname smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_unknown_address smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination # Mailbox/Message home_mailbox = Maildir/ mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" virtual_mailbox_limit = 1073741824 mailbox_size_limit = 0 message_size_limit = 104857600 unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 recipient_delimiter = + # misc biff = no allow_percent_hack = no append_at_myorigin = no append_dot_mydomain = no swap_bangpath = no readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix html_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/html virtual_alias_domains = virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf, mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 transport_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf virtual_create_maildirsize = yes virtual_maildir_extended = yes virtual_mailbox_limit_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailbox_limit_maps.cf virtual_mailbox_limit_override = yes virtual_maildir_limit_message = "The user you are trying to reach is over quota." virtual_overquota_bounce = yes proxy_read_maps = $local_recipient_maps $mydestination $virtual_alias_maps $virtual_alias_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_mailbox_domains $relay_recipient_maps $relay_domains $canonical_maps $sender_canonical_maps $recipient_canonical_maps $relocated_maps $transport_maps $mynetworks $virtual_mailbox_limit_maps content_filter = amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024 receive_override_options = no_address_mappings MASTER.CF Code: # Postfix master process configuration file.

Check the smtp settings in thunderbird and make sure that the username is the full email address. There is a bug in thunderbird that removes the part after the @ sign when you create the account.
The SMTP settings in Thunderbird are correct: Server name: mydomain.com Post: 465 Security: SSL/TLS Auth: Normal password Username [email protected] So yes I'm using the entire Email address as username. The problem appear also using other Email clients (I tried with iPhone, Mail on OSX Snow Leopard, Outlook) I really can't understand where is the problem. Other suggestions?
i have the same problem... I have the same issue, i cant send email! If you want me to post my file info i can too. If i get it to work i will let you know how i did it here.
submission port ok so i remembered i have to enable the submission port, but i am still cant send an email with Thunderbird. what am i doing wrong? i commented out the first line and un-commented the submission, did you try this, does it work if you do this? vi /etc/postfix/master.cf #smtp inet n - - - - smtpd submission inet n - - - - smtpd postfix reload
