Hello Im using debian/unstable and following packets/versions:
postfix 2.3.4-2 postfix-mysql 2.3.4-2 sasl2-bin 2.1.22.dfsg1-5 libsasl2 2.1.22.dfsg1-5 libsasl2-modules 2.1.22.dfsg1-5 libsasl2-modules-sql 2.1.22.dfsg1-5 libsasl2-2 2.1.22.dfsg1-5 What I try to reach is: Postfix chrooted, forcing use of TLS/SASL, but no SSL, to authenticate users. The user data is in mysql. Postfix should use the sasl-librarys to generate SQL-Querys for mysql. Problem was: I always got the "warning: SASL authentication problem: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: Permission denied" error. It looked like the sasl-libraries would not find my config file, which lied in /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf. When logging mysql querys, i didn't even see any connections made.

Postfix wouldn't even start at all after removing this library.

Apparently the config-file must now lie in the /usr/lib/sasl2-directory. Thank you, Fabian!
