Public bug reported:

First of all, I am not sure if this is a bug. This page opened when I
tried to report using Apport. The following is the message that appears
during boot:

"Saslauthd service always exits with status 2."

The following is the output of "systemctl status saslauthd.service":

● saslauthd.service - LSB: saslauthd startup script
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/saslauthd; bad; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2016-10-26 09:13:49 IST; 2min

The following troubleshooting steps are tried:
1) Removed and purged sasl2-bin & resinstalled
2) Tried restarting the service using terminal after system boot
3) Performed the steps in the following link once again from start to finish:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix

I am using postfix and sasl not on a server but on a desktop mainly for
internal mail transfers and for cron job facilitation purposes.

I am new to Ubuntu and *nix operating systems. I am learning by trial
and error. This service was running OK before.

I am running Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Desktop on my system.

Thanks,
Kumaran A
