Logging problems + authentication problems

> You should have: permit_sasl_authenticated before permit_mynetworks

Dose that really make any difference? permit_mynetworks should not exclude
sasl-authenticated clients as far as I know. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Neverteless I changes it.

I'm using Postfix 2.1.5-9 (says apt-cache), according to postfix.org there
is no 3.2.x

I installed the lisbsasl2 package using apt-get. So the plugin should be
installed correctly. By the way, I'm using (actually have to use) Debian
sarge.

smtpd.conf is in /etc/postfix/sasl/

Previous error messages (listed below) lead me to the same conclusion, but
everything should be alright. All this was done by apt.

Well, it should. At least I can fetch my mail via pop3. The corresponding
program also gets the passwords from the db.

Yes.

Here are some errormessages which concern my actual problem. I got them
logged in auth.log before they suddenly stopped. Formerly the error-messages
I listed in a previous mail also were logged to auth.log (I did not change
the syslogd-config).

Dec 18 15:00:07 localhost postfix/smtpd[29131]: SQL engine 'mysql^M' not
supported
Dec 18 15:00:07 localhost postfix/smtpd[29131]: auxpropfunc error no
mechanism available
Dec 18 15:00:07 localhost postfix/smtpd[29131]: _sasl_plugin_load failed on
sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: sql

So there was/is definitely something wrong with the plugin. I'm quite
confused by the 'mysql^M'
