It depends on what you want to achieve. If you want to relay based on
SMTP AUTH then you won't put any host/net in the access_db.

The key is "no mechanism available". Make sure you have cyrus-sasl-plain
RPM installed, else there is no SASL support for PLAIN and LOGIN.

Again. I just see no parts in the log where you put in your AUTH data.

You can send from localhost or your private network IP 192.168.2.4? What
is the content you access file?
