Well! This morning I learned more about SASL, dovecot, and postfix than I wanted to know ... but I fixed my smptd installation. For the record, here is my story. For reasons unknown to me postfix was working just fine (other than the logwatch issue) until I fixed that issue, but that fixing exposed other issues in the local mail system. From March 2010 (when I built this server/workstation) I had a SlackBuilds.org cyrus-sasl installation and a non-SBo tarball of the same version. The latest postfix (2.11.1) did not like either flavor and while it presented the smtp throttling as a 'warning', killing smtp is really a fatal error. And now SBo does not provide cyrus-sasl, only cyrus-imap, and postfix does not like the latter. Also installed is a SBo version of dovecot. The SBo postfix build script will accommodate either cyrus-sasl or dovecot, but when the SASL type is specified as dovecot the built postfix still looks for cyrus-sasl. Don't ask me why. Anywho, I went to the CMU Web site for cyrus-sasl, downloaded the latest source tarball, changed the configuration prefix from /usr/local/ to /usr/ (where postfix wants its support), ran the usual configure; make; make install and now postfix is happily chugging along once again.
