    Are you using Woody or Sarge? If Woody, seriously consider one of the
    following:

    1) Switch to Sarge
    2) Get backports of Postfix 2.1 and SASL2
    3) Install from source

    The versions in Woody are beyond ancient. If you have an already working setup
    they are OK. Otherwise, getting them to work is a royal pain as there is
    little
    or no existing documentation for the versions that old. I managed to do it
    last year, but there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    Incidentally, you may want to check if postfix is running in a chroot. If it
    is, take it out and it is possible that will fix your problem.
