[Web-cyradm] help with SASL auth from SMTP clients please

[Mikko Toivola]

I've configured such a system myself, it's no biggie really, since  
you already have set up sasl & stuff. You don't have to set up any  
"duplicate" -systems, just configure your postfix to allow relaying  
if user is authenticated, that's basically it. My postfix is also set  
up to listen SMTP/SSL TCP-port (465), since my ISP is blocking  
port-25 connections to anywhere else than their own mailserver (found  
that out after hours of debugging). TLS works on port 25, so it's  
possible to use that also, port 465 is strictly SSL. Blocking port-25  
access seems to be quite common nowadays (due to viruses & spam), so  
I've told everyone just use port 465 and SSL (oh, and that's the only  
secure-smtp apple mail understands). I can post critical parts of  
postfix configs later on, now i'm in a bit of a horry. Net is also  
full of tutorials for this, just google for "postfix sasl  
authentication", it's not that uncommon setup.
