Hi Patrick,

doesn't he already use that parameter as saslauthd sees the realm?

Jeff, you are using saslauthd with PAM as the backend. What kind of PAM
setup do you use for SMTP? Not each PAM configuration can handle realmed
user credentials, like authing against system accounts (passwd/shadow).

What does "ps axuwwww | grep saslauthd" say and what "cat /etc/pam.d/smtp"?
