postfix w/ SASL

2006-12-27 Thread Tom Allison
Today I'm trying to set up SASL with postfix for AUTH. I'm going through the postfix docs on how to set this up. Most of it doesn't seem to apply since the commands like 'saslpasswd' are not available based on the testing installation. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about

apt-get network problems

I'm having a lot of trouble with the apt-get update process. I keep getting errors trying to update the packages. Most of this seems to hang on ftp.us.debian.org. Which I am begining to suspect is an alias for mirrors as I'm finding network IP traffic to different debian mirrors other than

There can be broken dependencies in unstable and testing. At least I've seen that in the past. But it's kind of strange to ask if Unstable is stable. I guess it depends on how much time you want to spend trying to get the latest and greatest software to work or to just get some work done. On
