Scalix + sendmail + ssl + smtp auth + trouble

Hi,

smtp works fine. Now I'm installing smtp over ssl. With outlook and thunderbird I get the following error:

cat /var/log/messages
May 30 22:36:41 scalix saslauthd[24548]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=foo.bar] [service=smtp] [realm=foobar.com] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]

cat /var/log/maillog
May 30 22:36:41 scalix sendmail[24563]: l4UIaeHs024563: localhost [127.0.0.1] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA

I tried to set to pam_permit in /etc/pam.d/smtp but that does not solve the problem. Pop over SSL works fine, can anybody please give me a hint where to search. Is this a scalix independent problem? Switiching off smtp authentification is not an option :-(

thanks

Dani
