Postfix problem

Hi, i have problem with my config. I try add ssl/tls support and i broke config file. Now postfix dont let me send any mail with error warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed warning: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: authentication failure warning: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure

Is the way to reinstall postfix with default virtualmin config? My main.cf: https://pastebin.com/vyBecGvU My master.cf https://pastebin.com/dDs5rm0z

What distro/version?

This may be a SASL configuration problem, rather than a Postfix issue (though the fact that it happened after a configuration change could indicate it is Postfix, though I don't see any problems in a cursory glance at your config).

As for re-installing, that's really trick on some distros (Debian/Ubuntu, because of the way dependencies work), and probably not recommended on any distro. It's surely something minor, so let's just track down what's wrong and fix it.

So, find your sasl configuration file (if you tell me your distro/version, I can give you the exact path to it) and check for:

pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain login

And, make sure saslauthd is running.

# systemctl status saslauthd

ubuntu 16.04 here. i suspect the issue is with the recent clam update. ive got a mail.log full of "CLAMAV: couldn't connect to: /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl: no such file or directory"

a simple reboot seems to have fixed the issue. ha! kinda forgot about that trick since i left windows behind.
