There's nothing in /var/log/secure about the authentication errors. The errors I do get are in /var/log/maillog: Aug 22 18:46:12 aeonflux postfix/smtpd[1988]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed Aug 22 18:46:12 aeonflux postfix/smtpd[1988]: warning: unknown[10.20.0.3]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed Aug 22 18:46:51 aeonflux postfix/smtpd[1988]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed Aug 22 18:46:51 aeonflux postfix/smtpd[1988]: warning: unknown[10.20.0.3]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed Aug 22 18:48:17 aeonflux postfix/smtpd[1988]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed Aug 22 18:48:17 aeonflux postfix/smtpd[1988]: warning: unknown[10.20.0.3]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed Seems to indicate a problem with the password, but I did do a base64 encoding of username\0username\0password to get the string to authenticate during a telnet session and it did not work -- except for that one account "admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx". -- Pascal Chong email: chongym@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: http://cymulacrum.net pgp: http://cymulacrum.net/pgp/cymulacrum.asc "La science ne connaît pas de frontière parce que la connaissance appartient à l’humanité. et que c’est la flamme qui illumine le monde." -- Louis Pasteur
