"I understand you want to use Dovecot as SASL provider. In this case the
configuration (see below) you are currently trying to use is leading you
completely the wrong way.
Take a look at the section "Configuring Dovecot SASL" in the SASL_README
(/usr/share/doc/postfix/SASL_README.gz> that is shipped with Postfix.
Here's what you basically need to do:
1. Configure Dovecot to provide an authentication socket for Postfix 2.
Configure Postfix to use that socket.
Step 2 might be a little extra complicated if you run your Postfix server
chrooted, which is the default on Debian/Ubuntu machines.

I do not have that in that folder.
I am trying to do just that. I need to try to understand if I need to add
or subtract the text that is described in the
Postfix to Dovecot SASL communication.
1 /etc/dovecot.conf:
2 auth default {
3 mechanisms = plain login
4 passdb pam {
5 }
6 userdb passwd {
7 }
8 socket listen {
9 client {
10 path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
11 mode = 0660
12 user = postfix
13 group = postfix
14 }
15 }
16 }
In my dovecot.conf I have references to mysql in there. Do I not need to
worry about them and just paste this in or uncomment.
