I have been trying to get this to work for about a year and I have had no
success. I have installed Debian Lenny AMD-64 bit with this setup.

I am trying to send mail through my own mail server so Postfix will handle
everything.

What do I need to do to get this to work correctly.

You're asking the wrong question in the wrong way without providing
necessary details:

Per the welcome message you received when you joined the list:

TO REPORT A PROBLEM see:
http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail

At a minimum, postfix version, output of postconf -n and unedited
NON-verbose logs exhibiting the problem should be provided...

Since the OP wants to send SASL-authenticated e-mail, I'd suggest to
start with Postfix' SASL Howto [1]. Debugging comes as a second step
when he encounters problems while following the documentation.

I certainly appreciate the input but as I have said I have tried to get this
working over the last 365 days +

I do not quite understand how it is not working.



I have seen posts that say

Postfix to Dovecot SASL communication

SMTP Authentication with Postfix using files or MySQL

Postfix Howtos and FAQs



I am not an expert I do however have two books on Postfix and of course the
ever popular GOOGLE

In that case, what you really need to do is explain what you've done so
far, and where you are getting stuck. In particular, have you
successfully installed Postfix and got it working with unauthenticated
SMTP (ie, without SASL)? If not, is that because you haven't tried to
get it working without SASL, or because you have tried but can't get it
working at all?

If you haven't tried getting it to work without SASL, then do that
first. SASL is difficult to debug, so it's essential that you first
ensure that the problem isn't anything to do with SASL!
