I am administering a e-mail server running RHEL 5 with sendmail 8.13 and
using dovecot imap most of the users are going to need to be able to
send mail from their laptops and i have no idea what network they will
be utilizing. I am using saslauthd and never created sasl passwords but
folloing the guide at http://www.joreybump.com/code/howto/smtpauth.html
was able to get it working. now after 6 months of no problem and a
simple user password change i cannot relay from anywhere.


[root at linuxamd ~]# sasldblistusers2
listusers failed
[root at linuxamd ~]#

is this my problem?
