    Hej

    I did a apt-get dist-upgrade on my mail server this evening on my
    mailserver which is based upon Sarge.

    After this postfix can not connect to the saslauthd daemon anymore.
    Has anyone else encountered the same problem?

    I checked the /var/cache/apt/archives directory for the latest installed
    packages:
    mollie:/var/cache/apt/archives# ls -lart | tail
    417982 Jun 11 08:45 nano_1.2.3-2_i386.deb
    983520 Jun 12 11:21 libsnmp-base_5.1.1-2_all.deb
    548116 Jun 12 11:22 fetchmail_6.2.5-8_i386.deb
    150058 Jun 15 23:42 libsasl2-modules_2.1.18-4.1_i386.deb
    110056 Jun 15 23:42 sasl2-bin_2.1.18-4.1_i386.deb
    135794 Jun 15 23:42 libcyrus-imap-perl21_2.1.16-6_i386.deb

    I did a dpkg -i libsasl2 sasl2 libcyrus to the earlier version, but this
    did not help.

    In the end I went back to the latest Sarge by doing another dist-upgrade.

    Do anyone have any suggestions or advice on this issue?
    I can send e-mails by using squirrelmail, but I need the saslauth to
    confirm all users who wants to send by their e-mail clients.

    Thanks in advance

    I have postfix in chroot, and I also have two postfix queues with
    mailscanner in between.
