Thanks so much for looking into this Federico.
I also tried using clear passwd, but it's still not authenticating. I was able to make it work using POP3, but not using SASL, i'm afraid it might be prone to attacks or interception.
I'm still working on a testbed, not the production server yet, until I'm sure it is secure and stable.
Following are the main and master config files, as well the the shorewall rules.
I removed some of the commented lines in the config files (not all to retain section breaks)
