Description Daniel Tröder

Postfix' SMTP client does only support Cyrus SASL (and not Dovecot SASL like the server). When Dovecot is installed Postfix SASL is switched to Dovecots SASL implementation. Wrongly also the SMTP (and LMTP) client is switched to Dovecots-SASL, which prevents Postfix from sending mails.

All new Mailserver-Installations that use a relay are affected.

Postfix' smtp client now always uses the Cyrus SASL implementation.

Problem is reproducible.

       The  SASL  plug-in  type  that the Postfix SMTP client should use for 
       authentication.  The available types are listed with the "postconf -A" 
       command.

smtpd_sasl_type (default: cyrus)
       The SASL plug-in type that the Postfix SMTP server should use for  
       authentication.  The available types are listed with the "postconf -a" 
       command.
