Bugger I spoke too soon. It seems to have stopped working again. I've now done as evrimfuruncu suggested and used rimap. it's far easier than banging my head against the wall. For anyone interested my steps were;
Edit /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf so that it only conatins; pwcheck_method: saslauthd mech_list: plain login Edit /etc/default/saslauthd and change these lines; MECHANISMS="rimap" MECH_OPTIONS="127.0.0.1" OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r" Everything is now working and my system is up to date. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875440 Title: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cyrus-sasl2/+bug/875440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
