Re: SMTP AUTH using SASL password checking daemon

Try saslauthd instead of pwcheck. Odds are you are running postfix
chroot'ed (look in master.cf to verify), in which case you would need to
copy a bunch of extra files in the jail to use a method other tha
saslauthd. To use saslauthd, you also have to start the service (service
saslauthd start). Use the chkconfig command to make sure saslauthd
starts in all the same runlevels as postfix.
