I do this ALL THE TIME, and it almost always comes back to my tweak. Ok, not almost; always. > I don't even know what to suspect.

I could be wrong, but the errors you provided may also indicate that your saslauthd daemon wasn't even running, possibly because of an upgrade or config change that made it fail to (re)start. Silly mistake, I know, but I've done it more than once. Finally, check the following configs in main.cf: smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtp_sasl_tls_security_options = $var_smtp_sasl_opts smtp_sasl_tls_verified_security_options = $var_smtp_sasl_tls_opts smtpd_sasl_application_name = smtpd smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd BTW, the values there are what I have configured; these values may or may not be valid for your setup.
