postfix smtp errors

[Matt Price]

hope this isn't a duplicate -- i've had some issues with my mailers as
i fiddle with my smtp settings & am concerned that my first try didn't
make it out the door...

hi folks,

i recently discovered that i can still connect to the utoronto smtp
servers even from behind my evil rogers connection -- as long as i use
port 587.  this setup works fine with thunderbird when i set it up
directly from within the client.  However, i'd like to just get postfix
to do what i want, and funnel thunderbird, evolution, mutt, etc through
postfix.  but i haven't managed to do this.  Right now i'm getting these
errors:

Sep 28 21:58:22 gont postfix/smtp[22402]: 2A2A3120261: to=<matt.price-H217xnMUJC0sA/PxXw9srA at public.gmane.org>, relay=smtp.utoronto.ca[142.150.210.60]:587, delay=0.52, delays=0.02/0/0.45/0.05, dsn=5.7.0, status=bounced (host smtp.utoronto.ca[142.150.210.60] said: 530 5.7.0 Authentication required (in reply to MAIL FROM command))


i'm not sure why it says " authentication required" -- I think I have
authentication set up already.  here's my /etc/postfix/main.cf:

# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete
version

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
biff = no

# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no

# Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
#delay_warning_time = 4h

myhostname = anarres.mercey.org
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = localhost
relayhost = [smtp.utoronto.ca]:587
#authentication stuff
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_security_options =
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = loopback-only

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

and then my sasl_passwd has this line:

[smtp.utoronto.ca]:587                user:passwd

i've run postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd, but that hasn't helped.  

i feel i must be missing something, but i'm not sure what it is.  any
gurus out there who know morethan me?  thanks!!

matt
