Default value of smtpd_recipient_restrictions in iRedMail on CentOS 6 should be:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unlisted_recipient, chck_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:7777, permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination, reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname, reject_invalid_helo_hostname, check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10031

And other two parameters:

smtpd_sasl_local_domain =
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous

Could you please paste output of command "dovecot -n" to help troubleshoot?

It should be ./dovecot-auth instead.

If it still doesn't work, please paste output message of command "postconf -n" here.

---------------------------------------

Issue:  I am also using this irekdmail server for a vpn and web hosting.  In migrating my services over it seems I have messed up some cofiguration.  I cannot seem to authenticate to the server.  The settings on thunderbird are the same as when it worked.  Startssl and plain login.  Ports are open and from the maillog I am establishing a connnection however no SASL mechanisms can be found.

Where to go from here?

I increased the debug level in main.cf by:
smtpd_tls_loglevel = 4

Here is the output when I try to sendmail from postmaster
