/me too.

FWIW, reverting to 2.1.24~rc1.dfsg1+cvs2011-05-23-4 is enough.
BTW, if you use Cyrus SASL authentication in Postfix, you can not
actually revert libsasl2-2 and libsasl2-modules only, but you need
to revert sasl2-bin as well because of its versioned dependency.

Thank you, indeed I did not find it during a first look, maybe the title
should be changed to reflect the IMHO most common error? In my case:
C61E120DDD 2071 Wed Aug 17 10:45:55 l...@pca.it
(SASL authentication failed; cannot authenticate to server \
home.pca.it[83.211.85.135]: no mechanism available)
debian-public...@lists.debian.org
Two notes, maybe they could be useful:
1) the upgrade from -4 to -5 created an /etc/sasldb2 file, is it really
useful? And why not in /etc/sasl2/ instead, already used by
libvirt-bin?
2) the remote SMTP server uses Postfix_2.7.1-1+squeeze1, but SASL
authentication is provided by Dovecot_1:1.2.15-7.gismo.gnus8959~1
(see #632844).
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
