Hi, I followed the Virtual Mail Hosting guide using postfix/courier-imap etc. Almost everything works: pop3, imap, pop3 secure, imap secure, I can read and send mails using squirrelmail, but the only thing that doesn't work is sending mail.
I've added my host as smtp-server in thunderbird, but when I'm trying to send a mail I can't login, and this is what's in my /var/log/mail/current :
Code:

SASL LOGIN authentication failed

The SASL login works just fine with pop3/imap, and the decoded response with my username and password are just fine.

This is what's in my /etc/postfix/main.cf
Code:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
        permit_sasl_authenticated
        permit_mynetworks
        reject_unauth_destination


Does anyone know what could be wrong?

I've solved it:

You have to add the following line to your main.cf:

Code:

smtpd_sasl_application_name = smtpd
