    I've not added:

    "saslauthd_path: /var/run/saslauthd/mux"

    to my /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf and I get a different error:

    "warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd
    server: Permission denied"

    /var/run/saslauthd is the right location I believe as my smtpd is not
    chrooted
