That states that postfix uses Cyrus SASL by default. You've not told Postfix to use dovecot's SASL implementation so it will be talking to Cyrus instead. In other words, Postfix probably IS doing SASL authentication, but perhaps you haven't told it what credentials are valid. > > > > > http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL will walk you > > through getting postfix to talk to dovecot. > > > >> > >> > >> note my dovecat mechanism set to = plain login as mentioned in the howto above > > > > Are you able to receive mails correctly with Outlook?

If so, it's working because you have "permit_mynetworks" in your postfix configuration. You'll note that you never authenticated yourself to postfix so there's no chance of testing the SASL authentication there.
