I have postfix 2.11 setup on Debian jessie with Dovecot SASL and I require encrypted login mechanism to send mail via smtp. For this purpose in the main.cf I've smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes option set. I'm happy with results, but I want to allow localhost to use plain text login without tls encryption.
I don't know how to set an exception for localhost. I need this, because when I'm sending mail from localhost without any authorization method the message is delivery throught spamassassin spam filter which generates delay.
Here's my main.cf:
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP
biff = no
# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no
# Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
