My saslauthd.conf has this line OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd" whereas /etc/postfix/sasl/smtp.conf has saslauthd_path: /var/run/saslauthd which whould be correct for chroot, no? I did change that to saslauthd_path: /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd and tried again and that didn't work either your are probably on the right track though OTOH root@collab:# sudo -u postfix testsaslauthd -f /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/mux -u xxxxxxx -p xyz 0: OK "Success." worked .... :( thanks!
