    I have worked on it for 2 hours and can not get the saslauthd to start and work correctly. This is a Debian (3.1) sarge install.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,

    Is the file /etc/init.d/saslauthd executable?

    Try a chmod +x /etc/init.d/saslauthd

    You have to save the file with Unix linebreaks, not Windows linebreaks! :eek: This is very important! So if you create the file on a Windows machine and then transfer it to your Linux box, make sure you use an editor that allows to save the file with Unix linebreaks!
