Hi,
trying to get mail working on Virtualmin/Debian 5 fresh install.
Receiving works fine with username.domain but sending using SMTP keeps failing at auth.
here are logs when I tried sending from Thunderbird

Thx
Howdy,
It looks like the user it sees authenticating is "igor" rather than "igor.domain". Are you sure Thunderbird is using the correct username when authenticating for outgoing SMTP?

damn, you were right.
Just tried Outlook, set proper SMTP auth and it works. grrrrrr, stupid Thunderbird :)
And I just spent 8 hours trying to tweak postfix/pam/devcoat combo. I thought Virtualmin wasnt binding users for domain right.
