If you feel it isn't reading the conf file, could it be errors related
to postfix chrooting? On my server I do this in /etc/fstab, so postfix
can access saslauthd:
/var/run/saslauthd /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd none rw,bind 0
0
Also, is postfix a member of the sasl group?
$ grep sasl /etc/group
sasl:!:45:smmta,smmsp,postfix
