Also - does anyone knows why there are 2 library sets installed ? for sasl:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# rpm -qa | grep sasl
libsasl2-2.1.12-1mdk
cyrus-sasl-2.1.12-1mdk
libsasl7-plug-plain-1.5.28-5mdk
libsasl2-plug-plain-2.1.12-1mdk
libsasl7-1.5.28-5mdk

That's because almost all the software in mandrake 9.1 uses sasl v1 (libsasl7), while cyrus-imapd needs sasl v2 (libsasl2). IIRC the saslauthd that came in the 9.1 package is from the v2 library, and it's incompatible with v1 (used by postfix), so you cannot use saslauthd. You can either try another authentication method (sasl v1 can use pam directly *but* if you're using /etc/shadow postfix won't be able to read the file due to insufficent permission) or try use pwcheck, i.e in /usr/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf you can put

pwcheck_method:pam

or

pwcheck_method:pwcheck

Don't forget to start the pwcheck daemon in the latter case and to configure /etc/pam.d/smtp in the former.
