    Great! Thank you! That worked, I didn't have that package installed and
    now that I do I am no longer getting that error.

    I am now getting another error however...

    "warning: SASL authentication problem: unable to open Berkeley db
    /etc/sasldb2: Permission denied"

    In my /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf I have tried:

    pwcheck_method: saslauthd

    and

    pwcheck_method: pwcheck

    (Having first installed cyrus-common to provide pwcheck)

    I want saslauthd to use pam to authenticate users against their regular
    passwords, not to use a second database.

    Where am I going wrong?
