Hi Guys The smtpd.conf file on /etc/postfix/sasl/ should be read by (libsasl2 or postfix not sure) to enable other types of authentication. This does not seem to work as no matter what I place in this file it always fails back to Berkeley db in /etc/sasldb2. Debian normally has patches which fix this at least this is what I have found in my reading. Could someone who knows more than I do have a look at this ? Thanks Mike O'Connor
