[gentoo-user] Postfix authentication error??

[Darren Grant]

I've been searching for the answer to my problem for most of the day. I 
have a mail server running a local domain, but is ready to add virtual 
domains. postfix + courier imap + cyrus sasl + mysql, etc... following 
the gentoo "virtual mailhosting  system with postfix guide"

Everything seems to be working fine. I can send email to 
users@××××××××.com... the system recognizes the local domain and 
delivers the appropriate emails to /home/user/.maildir/new just like 
it's suppose to. On the actual server I can go into the .maildir and 
view the emails.

When trying to connect remotely with an email client (thunderbird) I 
can't seem to authenticate... and it's driving me crazy. Could someone 
please point me in the right direction?

#tail -f /var/log/messages

Feb  9 15:43:52 myhost imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:216.xxx.xxx.xx]
Feb  9 15:43:55 myhost imapd: LOGIN FAILED, user=myuser@××××××××.com, 
ip=[::ffff:216.xxx.xxx.xx]
Feb  9 15:43:55 myhost imapd: authentication error: Input/output error

Where is my configuration problem most likely? In my 
/etc/postfix/main.cf file? or in my courier configs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Darren
