I think you might be better off contacting Patrick Ben Koetter about
the book of postfix.
He wrote a very nice book (available in PDF for your viewing
pleasure) on the inner workings/configuration of postfix which
touches on the sasl side as well and IMHO should be a must-have for
the mail-admin.
No it's not a shame-less plug, I get nothing out of it other than the
satisfaction of passing on the wisdom which I have attained in my
postfix endeavors and assistance directly from/with Patrick who
helped me achieve the impossible in an environment that wasn't
designed to support postfix/mysql or cyrus-sasl/mysql.
While I understand the need to resolve the issue at hand, the minor
pittance to obtain the book is well worth the information contained
therein and will increase your ability to troubleshoot and correct
any issues you might encounter thus increasing your value as a mail-
admin.

So i can assume that it finds the smtpd.conf file but doesn't like it
/etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf

sql_engine: mysql
sql_user: dbmail
sql_passwd:
sql_database: dbmail
sql_statement: SELECT passwd FROM dbmail_users WHERE userid = '%u'
log_level: 7
Ok i finaly found out what it was "sql_passwd:" can not be a blank
password it has to be a word like "sql_passwd: grrrrrrrr". Also
changed sql_statement to sql_select , don't know if it matters.
I now have no more "initialization failed" and also no more "can not
find /etc/sasl2db"
But my sql databases is still not receiving a query
Any suggestions please ?
