Dear All,

I have configured postfix with SASL support. I have both Cyrus and Dovecot installed. I have gone through multiple installations guide and tried to fix the issue I am having.

The configuration is properly done for authentication but when I telnet local host to check if the auth mechanisms are read by the mailer (postfix), I get the following:


Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.school.nz ESMTP Postfix
ehlo smtp.mail.school
250-mail.school.nz
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-STARTTLS
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250 DSN


There is no auth line however STARTTLS is there for secure communication.

Do you have any idea what is going wrong. Or have I missed something??

Thanks in anticipation.
