These are simple instructions to turn on SASL authentication.
Nothing more, nothing less. If the instructions don't work, then
show what you did ("postconf -n" command output) and show the result
(non-debug Postfix logging for an entire mail delivery attempt).

it from galloping off into the desert and dying from thirst while
chasing down mirages.
If you can't follow simple instructions, then this thread is over.
