ok i will try the above that you shared but the howto that i am
following is a bit different from yours. let me try yours.

the config that i got from here
http://syslog.tv/2011/09/15/postfix-dovecot-imapimaps-sasl-maildir/

home_mailbox = Maildir/
 smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
 smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
 smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname
 broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes

smtpd_sender_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,
 permit_mynetworks,

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,
 permit_sasl_authenticated,
 reject_unauth_destination,
 reject_unknown_sender_domain,

actually, i have two new email accounts that i locally created for
testing (mail1 and mail2)

however i can not manage to make my outlook talk to smtp of my server.
i can see the IMAP inbox which was successfull. but i use netcat for
sending email from console.
i did this.

netcat myserver
ehlo myserver
mail from: mail1@mydomain.com
rcpt to:mail1@mydomain.com
(actually i wanted to send email from mail1 to itself)
 data

all the message

i end email with "."

and quit the netcat app.

however when i send receive from outlook from my client computer i did
not see any email in it.

and thats all so far i reached now.

but ill get back to you when i try your configuration today.......
