Thanks for the snipped off explanation, I already have tried a similar
solution with iptables and a switched off authentication on the cyrus
side. But I want to understand in addition, why the lmtp authentication
does not work as I (may be mis-?) understand it.

Looking at the debug-output ofthe postfix lmtp process I can find:

I do not know any details about the lmtp protocol, but as I understand the
above conversation, the cyrus lmtp server is advertising some of it's
features, but does not tell the postfix lmtp client to authenticate. Since
I do not know if this is necessary, may be I have a cyrus problem
here?? Where should postfix know, that it should authenticate??

Thanks,
