Hi again!

Yes, syslogd was restarted.

It may also be saslauthd who produces the messages. But, by the way, it can
be defined in the configuration file of syslogd, which messages are written
into auth.log. Or did I misunderstand that.
Actually I do not know exactly who produces messages like

Jan  7 13:59:25 szse postfix/smtpd[8786]: warning:
pD95F72E4.dip.t-dialin.net[217.95.114.228]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed
Jan  7 13:59:25 szse postfix/smtpd[8786]: >
pD95F72E4.dip.t-dialin.net[217.95.114.228]: 535 Error: authentication failed

But the problem is I do also not know, how to solve the problem which causes
the messages.

The password does not matter, cause it is only a test account

Ok, here comes my configuration:
I'm using Microsoft Outlook as client.

postconf -n:
