Enabling SASL on Centos 5 / Postfix / Dovecot leads to 'connection refused'
I followed the instructions to add SASL support to working postfix / dovecot install on Centos 5.
(instructions found here: http://www.linuxmail.info/postfix-smtp-auth-dovecot-sasl/ )
After changing to require SASL, server always shows:
[root@web1 etc]# telnet mydomain.com smtp
Trying 69.72.208.163...
telnet: connect to address 69.72.208.163: Connection refused
telnet localhost pop3 is ok
No messages in maillog or messages.
This is on a hosted Virtual private server. Appears to be using parallels
Thoughts?

I had ADDED a line inet_interfaces = all.
However, I didn't comment out the line inet_interfaces = localhost when I did that. I had 'all' before 'localhost'. Thanks!
