First guess: In both cases you are running the Postfix smtpd daemon chrooted and therefore it can't access the MySQL socket or the authdaemond socket. If that's not the answer show 'saslfinger -s' output. p@rick -- The Book of Postfix <http://www.postfix-book.com> saslfinger (debugging SMTP AUTH): <http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/>
