There are lots of hits when you search the web for: cannot connect to saslauthd server: Permission denied Likely one of them will have the answer.
I've tried a couple but without success. Also, I fixed main.cf per mouss' message. I had cut and pasted that from the README file without ensuring it was correct for me. I created /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/ and changed perms to 777 for /var/spool/postfix/var and its subdirectories. Are these the correct perms? Also, I changed /etc/passwd so postfix's home directory is /var/spool/postfix rather than /home/postfix. Now /var/log/maillog has this series: Aug 29 13:58:03 salmo postfix/smtpd[20108]: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: Permission denied Aug 29 13:58:03 salmo postfix/smtpd[20108]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed Aug 29 13:58:03 salmo postfix/smtpd[20108]: warning: salmo.appl-ecosys.com[192.168.55.1]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: generic failure I've made sure that saslauthd is running, too. What have I still missed? Rich
