Restored a freepbx15 backup to new install of freepbx17, I got everything working except email.
The debug log shows The debug shows SASL authentication failed; server mail.companyname.com[162.123.123.456] said: 535 Incorrect authentication data
I did a nearly identical system upgrade on another system and the email works fine from there.
It’s an imap server so there are no app passwords. I reentered the password but still get this error. What should I look for next.
The setup script doesn’t install required SASL modules for postfix.
apt-get install libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-db sasl2-bin
I just installed that and ran systemctl reload postfix and tried to send another email and get the same error.
root@phonesystem:/# apt-get install libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-db sasl2-bin

I restarted the pbx and it’s still not sending emails. What’s the next step to troubleshoot?
Who’s the email provider? Perhaps engage their support?
