I've recently followed the virtual email hosting guide below for a second time...
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml
...this time I didn't require SSL stuff so just ditched it. The mail server works just fine and everything seems cool. However I am getting the following log entries now and then and wondered why? Everything works as expected so i don't really know why the error is there?
| Code: | Sep 28 13:49:15 ned1 postfix/smtpd[3102]: sql_select option missing
Sep 28 13:49:15 ned1 postfix/smtpd[3102]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available
Sep 28 13:49:15 ned1 postfix/smtpd[3102]: _sasl_plugin_load failed on sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: sql
Sep 28 13:49:15 ned1 postfix/smtpd[3102]: auxpropfunc error invalid parameter supplied
Sep 28 13:49:15 ned1 postfix/smtpd[3102]: _sasl_plugin_load failed on sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: ldapdb |

I don't know exactly, but that could be a little problem with your /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf file.
Possibly you get the idea by comparing it to the other one that works for you. Or if not, post it here (but don't forget to remove the juicy details  ).

That's the thing, I compared the two just to make sure as I'm fairly new to running Postfix et all, originally used qmail. Here's the relevant config files.
I agree that the lodical choice for the problem is sasl

The /etc/postfix/master.cf file is in it's default configuration...aside there being an error in the MySQL files that are used to outline the database schema I'm running out of ideas.
I'll go through it all again to see if there's a typo or something I missed...

I think I've nailed it. The problem is that cyrus-sasl was compiled with the USE flags mysql and ldap, but in the virtual email setup courier-authd talks to MySQL; cyrus just passes the details onto courier's auth daemon. I've recompiled cyrus-sasl without - in my case - ldap and mysql USE flags and the error messages are now gone from the log file.

Just in case in anyone else is looking for an explanation and a fix for these errors...
| /var/log/syslog wrote: | sql_select option missing
auxpropfunc error no mechanism available
_sasl_plugin_load failed on sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: sql |
They occur, as Crispy Beef said, because Cyrus SASL has the SQL module installed but it is not configured or used. To get rid of the error messages either rebuild dev-libs/cyrus-sasl without MySQL/PostgreSQL support OR add the following line to your /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf file

Thanks,
The fix that rhygin posted fixed my errors.
I didnt want to re-compile without MYSQL, and I want that support just incase i have issues with the socket.
Thanks again.
