Try: chgrp mail /etc/sasldb2 chmod 660 /etc/sasldb2 You seem to have configured cyrus to access sasldb2. That means you should give it access to the database too :) Currently it's set only root can read/write it. If you're not using sasldb2 you should probably better disable it in your config. Hope it helps.
