Hi All,

I have a mail server with CentOS 4 (fully updated) running dovecot and
postfix.  I have a couple of virtual domains, so I've setup postfix and
dovecot accordingly.  That is, dovecot is doing the auth for internal
hosts, and postfix is handling sending/receiving for both domains.

What I want to do now is open up pop3s and smtp over TLS, which will
give me access to my two domains from external clients.  The pop3s bit
was easy, and my tests have been successful.  The hard bit is the smtp
over TLS. Since I'm using dovecot to handle the authentication, how do I
tell postfix that the sasl auth should be passed to dovecot?

I know how to do this in CentOS 5 since it has postfix 2.3, and that
version has support for dovecot authentication.  So far, I haven't been
able to figure out how to do the same thing  in CentOS 4 and postfix
2.2.

Any tips?

Regards,

Ranbir
