Could someone tell me more specifically what the error is indicating?

At this point I'm rather confused and annoyed and I'd appreciate any
help any one can give me!


I grant that you're using sarge... i think that you've installed most of needed packages like postfix-tls and sasl2-bin, so...
Check if you have libsasl2-modules package installed.


Thanks :)


You're welcome ;-]

Great! Thank you! That worked, I didn't have that package installed and now that I do I am no longer getting that error.

I am now getting another error however...

"warning: SASL authentication problem: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: Permission denied"

In my /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf I have tried:

pwcheck_method: saslauthd

and

pwcheck_method: pwcheck

(Having first installed cyrus-common to provide pwcheck)

I want saslauthd to use pam to authenticate users against their regular passwords, not to use a second database.

Where am I going wrong?
