I firmly agree however Eric believed it was an issue with cyrus - which I am not using. As far as SASL authentication - Only the mobile clients are trying to use SASL. The desktop clients work perfectly without it. I have tried disabling it in main.cf but the mobile clients are still trying to use it. I can not figure out why! So I now believe I need to just try and get it working again but I can not find a pure Postfix/SMTP how too. First time Postfix has ever stumped me. Also the first time I am trying to use mobile clients that I can not emulate ;) (Speaking of which - anyone know of a Palm Trio 600 - 755p emulator? All I can find are WebOS emulators.)
