Doesn't the authdaemond check against each module in order (i.e. from top 
down in the list in webadmin)?  Because, I tried changing the order - 
putting authpam at the top and it still gives the same message in the log.
I'm using only system accounts, nothing virtual.  And, as I said, the other 
services are validating - why would smtp differ?
