postfix smtp AUTH SASL Aug 2013

[jtowler%soncom.com@localhost]

Hello,
     My ISP changed some settings and I am adjusting mine and 
outgoing email is not up yet.

           I need SASL with smtp sending AUTH PLAIN $(printf 
'\0myemail@myemailisp\0emailpasswd' | mmencode) using a bash syntax 
which works when typed to explain myself.

     I read lots of docs and man pages, and am confused about smtpd 
vs smtp amongst other things.

     I read from this list and others archived about the same sort of 
problems.

     I have a sasl_passwd file set up with pkgsrc postfix compiled 
with the  sasl and tls options.
     I also have a generic file set up which worked before for local 
vs net wide email.

     I tried the std postfix and got errors initializing the SASL lib 
in smtp_initialize.

     The recommendations were to use pkgsrc postfix and pkgsrc cyrus, 
cy2-plain.  Set them up.

     Don't see how to activate saslauthd for just this email in 
envelope email-addr, email-passwd check.  Bits and pieces are 
mentioned.  I usually don't have this much trouble reading the docs 
and then knowing what to do.  Sorry to bother people with this.

     Some  of the archived questions indicated that this setup with 
postfix would be put in the guide.

     Can someone who has worked with this point me to or post a 
canned example that works correctly.  I have a new 
smtp.giganoc.com:587 to use instead of postfix before with 
smtp.soncom.com using port 25.  I apologise for slipping into the 
slang of what I have read about configuation.

     The only thing email does here is go out from my local machine 
(peano.jtcl.org) to some network wide address such as 
netbsd-users%NetBSD.org@localhost.  I can temporarily use this web email 
interface, but the fewer times the better.

     All in machine mail (peano.jtcl.org) is properly not rewritten 
for the network email address jtowler%soncom.com@localhost, and gets sent back 
to my account in /var/mail.  The error for network wide email using 
jtowler@soncom is 530 AUTH needed after MAIL FROM command.  The PLAIN 
mechanism using base64 from a bash shell and typed and pasted from X11 
works and I am successgully logged in to the smtp session to send 
email (but typing commands).

     Any help with a working setup would be appreciated.  I was 
concerned about hard coded config file names in the src for postfix/ 
/src/smtp/smtp_sasl_glue.c (file name could be off, there are not 2 
but also appears in postfix/ /src/smtpd.) Someone in the archives 
wrote that this was a topic for the Guide which they were working on.  
Pointers to an updated NetBSD Guide would help.

     I don't see the difference between smtp and smtpd in postfix.  
It seems that the needed setup combines both. I can read incoming 
email no problem, it is just this for outgoing and whether recently 
email fell into the void with the ISP.  Help.
