What do you mean then? You said you are "trying to set up a mailserver 
with virtual mailboxes and SASL authentication for SMTP". Courier IS a 
mail server (in the ports) suitable for virtual mailboxes. I think you 
need to provide all the details first, Postfix is an MTA but not a 
complete mail server.
The problem above may be better answered on the Postfix list so I 
suggest you try there as well.
