Hi all, I'm in the process of setting up my new email server on oS 11.2. Clean default install. Basic setup is Postfix/Cyrus/Saslauth/Pam I followed my previous setup closely, but setting up Thunderbird for one user gives an error "You cannot log in to localhost because the server doesn't allow plain text authentication without STARTTLS or SSL/TLS. Try enabling connection security or secure authentication in the account settings. But I believe I have everything set up to allow plain text authentication. I would like to make sure all is working right before I set up the certs for SSL/TLS. Sure would appreciate any help on this. Below is what I've done and tested so far.......... Running telnet shows the following: user@linux-8hun:~> telnet localhost 25 Trying ::1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 jimmee.local ESMTP Postfix ehlo clientname 250-jimmee.local 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN Note the above includes AUTH LOGIN PLAIN, but not AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN. Not sure how or where to adjust this, if it is pertinent. I'm just trying to auth with local users, using one domain. Running testsaslauuthd reports success for both smtp and imap: user@linux-8hun:~> testsaslauthd -u user -p password -s smtp 0: OK "Success." user@linux-8hun:~> testsaslauthd -u user -p password -s imap 0: OK "Success."
