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.

Ok I have done all that was aked by the documentation but...
I noticed that I have another line for
passdb pam {
mine appears to be linked to mysql
passdb sql {
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-crammd5.conf
my
mechanisms = plain login
also had " crammd5" at the end of it.
Would this make a difference or do I now need to try to do this through
mysql. I started to read up but stopped as I thought I would be ok this
way.
Thanks.
