1. what are the permissions on /usr/pkg/etc/sasldb.db file? postfix must be
able to read the file

2. in /usr/pkg/etc/postfix/main.cf if you set 'myhostname' to
'mail.mydomain.net' you should also specify that domain when you run
saslpasswd2, i.e.

	/usr/pkg/sbin/saslpasswd2 -c -u mail.mydomain.net username

I remember having authenication problems with postfix/cyrus-imapd when the
hostname did not match exactly.
