That looks okay in as much as you are able to connect to the SMTP server, however you haven't tried to authenticate with it which is where you are having problems. You were having trouble connecting to dovecot on the evening of the 10th due to the database being overloaded, but that problem resolved itself when the server load came down to manageable levels, and you have said you are having no problem receiving mail. Dovecot is not part of the equation. The log segment above indicates a failure to authenticate with the SMTP server. What backend are you using for that authentication, the same mySQL database? Are both servers using the same backend? Cheers, Tom -- Experience varies directly with equipment ruined.
