    Hello, guys.

    I'm trying to move/re-configure my mail server from an older debian server to a gentoo one.

    I kinda configured everything i know/remember, but I have one big problem.

    I keep getting this warning. You have bellow my postfix config as well. Can you help me? What other config should I provide?
    All posts i found online about this didn't help and chrooting and I would like to solve this without chrooting if possible :D.

    Code:
    May  9 18:31:29 gentoo postfix/smtpd[24968]: warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory

    Is saslauthd running? What's the output of
    Code:
    ps aux | grep -i saslauthd
    ?
