I had to do some modifications because of postfix's chroot and smtp

/var/run/saslauthd but everytime I reboot the link in /var/run is
removed and saslauthd does not start until I recreate the link. Is
there a way to maintain this link or a better way to get around the
postfix chroot so that everytime I reboot saslauthd starts correctly?
You'll either have to edit the saslauthd script to create the link for
you, or change the way you handle the chroot. I ran into this same
problem a while back.
What may work better (and what I currently do) is mount
/var/run/saslauthd at /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd with a bind
mount. The relevant line in /etc/fstab is shown below.
/var/run/saslauthd /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd none rw,bind 0 0
There's some more info on the guide I wrote a while back, though it may
not include the bind mount. Start at
http://wiki.ev-15.com/debian:mail_system#sasl
and there may be more information you can use there.
Hope this helps,
