Thanks for the suggestions, sounds like a good idea.
Which method is the simplest to implement and get up and running?
I am running MailScanner, Postfix, Spamassassin.

Hi Patrick,
I want a single username and password to be used for all people sending
through this install.
Which method would be best for this?
Any method as long as you only create one user and use that for all mail
clients, but I totally agree with Victor: You don't want to do that.
If you want to simplify things, consider using the main mail address as
username. That makes one thing less your users will have to think about.
They will have to provide their credentials to the mail client anyway, if they
want to be able to pick up mail (POP/IMAP). Almost all clients support an
optional switch that will let the client reuse these credentials for SMTP
Authentication.
Use the same password backend for SMTP/POP/IMAP.

Not sure if this is the right place to post, apologies if it is not.
This is my first MailScanner / Postfix install - on CentOS 5.2
I have attempted to setup the smtp authentication using SASL
following various tutorials.
When I attempted to authenticate I am getting the following error
pam_succeed_if(smtp:auth):error retrieving information about user test
You are using the saslauthd daemon to connect via PAM to a password backend.
If the backend is the local shadow file, reconfigure saslauthd to use "shadow"
as method and not "pam".
If you need to use PAM to access credentials in e.g. a MySQL database, then
you need to fix your PAM setup /etc/pam.d/smtp.
Use the "testsaslauthd" command to test saslauthd SASL authentication. Proceed
to Postfix and mail clients only if testsaslauthd succeeds. A typical
testsaslauthd call using PAM looks like this:
$ testsaslauthd -s smtp -r /path/to/saslauthd/socket -u test -p password

I have been searching the net for a couple of hours but havn't
been able to get it to work.
Start here:

http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html
Give more information; at least the output of 'postconf -n' and
saslfinger.
