I've been playing with email server on my B3 and struggling a wee bit. I've been following through some of the info on Postfix available on line and using it to try and enable email relay for my phone.

http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick ... rvers.html

I've taken the smtp settings listed there:

smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options =

and added them to my main.cf restarted my postfix server, just to be sure all my changes are loaded. I tried to login to my server using telnet and when I tried to login I got told authentication was not enabled.

AUTH LOGIN
503 5.5.1 Error: authentication not enabled

Can anybody maybe point me as to why login is disabled?

Think I found something

http://htyp.org/503_5.5.1_Error:_authen ... ot_enabled

Oops that was no help. Still searching

Just to be sure, does everything work as expected when you set everything back to defaults?

No I'm afraid not Web mail probably works but would rather use IMAP to my phone if I can figure it out.
