Hi,

I'm trying to use postfix to relay mail from our server to my ISP but fail
with the error "Authentication failed: cannot
SASL authenticate to server mail.notar-pelz.de[212.112.241.164]: no
mechanism available"

extract from main.cf:
...
relayhost = mail.notar-pelz.de
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options =
smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = cram-md5, digest-md5
...

I included "smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter" to exclude LOGIN as a mechanism.
The mail-server does not do the LOGIN stuff properly. I've verified this
with KMail: Login is reported as an authentication-mechanism, however, if
I choose to use it, it fails. If, however, I use CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5,
KMail can send the mail all right.

extract from the log: (username and password are what they should be)

Any ideas where the problem might be?

Thank you!
