I went through thread921-1602498 in setting up this new server. There is a clear-text sasl_password file, it was postmap hash'd to a db. There is a clear-text canonical file, it was postmap hash'd to a db. The main.cf has the referenced smtp_ switches:
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options =
sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical
I have verified the validity of the relay server's authentication tokens by doing a telnet smtp test as outlined for this server's tokens and receiving the forwarded message.
When my application generates the message to forward, it fails. (attachment of maillog). The from= is the forwarding maibox. It is also in the canonical.db. The password for this mailbox is in the sasl_passwd.db.

I am at a loss why the authentication is failing.


 
SOLVED .....courier font and bad eyes make for confusion between 1's and l's. Get them right before hasing the password! Amazing how the little details will kill me.
