I know i was messing around with users and virtual hosts to be able to host multiple domains and around this time of my mocking around i think i messed something up or perhaps it was the same time my server upgraded... either way i'd like to understand why it's failing, how to properly debug the issue, and how to resolve it.

I will be looking into socat and if the authdaemond_path is the same for my system... i know it's with only affects smtpd and is in /tmp but i still want to understand what going on here.
