The issue

If you look at the following setting

Webmin → Postfix Mail Server → SMTP Authentication And Encryption → SMTP security options → (Reject anonymous logins | Reject plain-text logins )

image

With the various options I get the following results for smtpd_sasl_security_options =

GUI Options postconf postconf -d
None –empty– noanonymous
Reject plain-text logins noplaintext noanonymous
Reject anonymous logins noanonymous noanonymous
Reject anonymous login, Reject plain-text logins noanonymous noplaintext noanonymous

the issue

no matter what option i select smtpd_sasl_security_options = is always anonymous

question

is this intentional on this version of postfix with a Cyrus SASL integration?

The manual says that both noplaintext and noanonymous are current settings
https://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_sasl_security_options

Is this override caused by another setting?

additional

Not all options are available in the GUI for smtpd_sasl_security_options and this should maybe freetype or checkboxes for some and then a input box for free typing non-covered options.

postconf -d shows the default value. This means there is no issue.
