dovecot 2.0.9 and Outlook Express

The last thing I have found in my upgrade to Scientific 6.1 is this.

Postfix smtp_auth won't talk to Outlook Express or Windows Mail with adding the single word "login" at the end of the auth_mechanisms line in dovecot, to look like this.

auth_mechanisms = plain login

On my system, its in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf

smtp auth works fine without it, as long as you have no microsoft mail clients.
