As previously mentioned, the chroot for smtp is turned off: cat /etc/postfix/master.cf | grep "smtp inet" smtp inet n - n - - smtpd

What does the smtpd line in master.cf look like? If it looks like this: smtp inet n - - - - smtpd This means that chroot is turned on , and that Postfix won't be able to talk to saslauthd. To turn off chroot change it into this and do "postfix reload": smtp inet n - n - - smtpd Only Debian ships Postfix with chroot turned on. Complain there. Wietse
