Hello, Am having similar issues. I am migrating to a new internal mail relay that has Sasldb auth on postfix (submission/587)
Though your suggestions to add the groups entry with systemctl edit saslauthd changes the group membership on the directory /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd; However it does not add the 710 perms on the files when the saslauthd service starts. Changing the permissions after the service starts seems to resolve the issue.

But this seems to resolve. So likely adding crontab entry like Rene suggested may be a good work around for the mean time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2078851 Title: saslauthd wrong permission of /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cyrus-sasl2/+bug/2078851/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
