What package do I need installed?
Oh dear, are you sure you should be managing a linux system, let
alone a mailserver?
apt-cache search sasl
suggests that libsasl2-2 may be what you need.
I'm sure. I'm just not really familler with Postfix regarding this
mattter.
You should re-evaluate whatever basis you have for that certainty.
A critical prerequisite for being able to responsibly and usefully
manage a mail server is solid competence in the administration of the OS
it runs on. Such a competency includes reading documentation,
understanding how to use the informational features of any package
manager one uses, and in general a facility with discovering information
about the system which are not intuitive (such as the details of the
model used by Debian for splitting up the Cyrus SASL software into
discrete packages.) If you haven't developed the habits and
troubleshooting skills of a sysadmin, being responsible for a mail
server is going to be a painful experience.
I don't manage any Debian-based Postfix serves so I don't have any ready
final answers for you, but one thing I know from years on this list is
that Debian's Postfix package is highly customized and idiosyncratic, to
a degree that seems to exasperate Dr. Venema when he tries to assist
people here using it. It is also clear that your problem is a
well-documented one relating to the installation of a collection of
optional software dependencies which probably are available as Debian
packages. It seems to me that your problem is not with Postfix, but with
the Debian/Ubuntu package collection. I suspect that there is some
better mailing list than this one for Debian and/or Ubuntu sysadmins,
and you may be able get better help from such a list.
