Hmm - okay, I added the relay "smtp.att.yahoo.com" (my isp) and I am getting the error that I need to authenticate through them first. With some other errors:

Can you put a couple of line breaks in the code quote above to make this page readable?

Will revert on other thoughts

You need to edit post 16 (I don't know about your browser, but mine would need to be about 3 screens wide to be able to see posting buttons, etc.)

Where's the telnet output?

Does /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd exist and did ytou postmap it (to create /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd.db)

Did you install saslauth (I'm trying to work out what the package is called in Ubuntu at the moment)

Edit - that looks a whole lot better thanks

Question for you - is there a particular reason why you have IP6 enabled for this installation?

I think you have a problem in master.cf. Can you post that one as well

Unfortunately, I followed a "sure-bet" tutorial on postfix before I knew what I was doing and it installed sasl and all of the sasl_auth. And as for IPv6, it was the default to enable IPv4 & 6 when I went through the basic postfix config, so no, I don't have a good reason.

Yes, I do have a /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd & there is a sasl_passwd.db

Here is my master.cf:

I don't know what howto you followed, but I suspect the key problem is

smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth-client


Try commenting out all the sasl stuff

Code:
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options =
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_local_domain =
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth-client
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
and change smtpd_recipient_restrictions to just permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination for now.


Restart and see if you logs are free of those pesky throttling errors. Sorry - I missed smtpd_sasl_path earlier

That did it.

Sure enough, the mail queue flushed out cleanly and I am sending and receiving e-mails perfectly.

billymayday - I owe you one

I removed all references to sasl by commenting out all smtp_sasl's from /etc/postfix/main.cf and removed the relay through my ISP that I had added earlier. I'm not sure how it went awry from the get-go, probably all of those "sure-bet tutorials". I've looked over all of these notes, and I honestly don't know what is different now from when I first started. I've read through the state of the postfix main.cf now that it is working, and it honestly looks very similar to the initial install. Did you spot anything in my mess of configuration? If you could point me to a good postfix guide, I would appreciate it. I'm just working my way through the postfix.org now.

Thank you so much for all of your help. I really really appreciate the hand-holding.

Post a link to the howto. The real problem is how each distro, and even different versions of distros install different packages by default, filenames change, etc. The issue is the private/client-auth entry, but I'm not sure what it's for (I use saslauthd for my authentication not dovecot).

For my system to use sasl, all I need is

Code:
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_local_domain =
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
plus permit_sasl_authenticated as a smtpd_recipient_restrictions as you had previously and saslauthd running as a daemon and away I go.
