Here is my SASL configuration:

mtpd_sasl_auth_enable =3D yes
smtpd_sasl_application_name =3D smtpd
smtpd_sasl_local_domain =3D
broken_sasl_auth_clients =3D no
smtpd_sasl_security_options =3D noanonymous, noplaintext

And, as it's my own Postfix server, of course I have a mailbox, so a login =
and
passwd in /etc/sasldb2

But I can't configure thunderbird on my notebook to send mails if I don't p=
ut
its IP address in "mynetworks".
I always got: Authentication mail server failed !

Cyrus and Postfix are both running TLS

I tried several thunderbird configurations but unsuccessfully


Is there something special to do ?
