(And excuse > my really bad english, please)<br> Hi, allow me to give you two suggestions first: 1) Please configure your mailer to send mail in clear text, not html. Otherwise configure it to send woth, text and html. Html only mails may have problems for some users to get read and some people are annoyed by html mails. 2) Always use the "reply" or "reply all" function of your mailer when replying to the list - and don't change the Subject of the mail. That way people can follow the thread of the discussion. > <br> > I'm not sure if I can ask for help here, but I didn't find any answer > elsewhere, so trying this out.<br> > <br> > I have a postfix relay server and a (local) cyrus imap server on the > same machine.

I expect you are using the packages from a distribution, maybe they have added some kind of "security" patches to make things more safe? Could you try with the following line in your cyrus config: sasl_mech_list: PLAIN Regards, Simon ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
