hello everyone,
I've installed Zimbra 3.0.1 on a Fedora Core 4 machine (minimal install). I have created 5 users and 2 domains (both have MX records). Everything is working great except the mta sasl authentication. I am using Thunderbird to connect to my mail server (66.x.x.x) from my home (69.x.x.x). I have my Thunderbird smtp settings set to use TLS with my login being my full e-mail address. When I try to send an e-mail, Thunderbird asks me for my password, but it fails (actually it keeps asking for the password).

On my Zimbra server I get this in the logs (bean is the name of my server):

I've tried every possible solution I was able to find on the forums and the wiki with no luck. I have recreated my ssl certs several times (the 'random state' error threw me off for a while).

Here is my mta config :



Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Edit : When I try testsaslauthd -u me@my.domain -p secret, i get connect() : No such file or directory. And when I try testsaslauthd -u me@my.domain -p secret -f /opt/zimbra/cyrus-sasl-2.1.21.ZIMBRA/state/mux, i get 0: NO "authentication failed".
