pam should work (and seemed to when you used testsaslauthd). It looked to me like the postfix to saslauthd interface was the issue.

Also, I think another piece I was missing was also adding my relay user (incoming) to the sasl group, which I didn't think I had to do but apparently I did.

No, that's definitely not necessary (again, your successful test showed this).

I am going to do some more testing, then tear it down and rebuild it from scratch and doc the whole thing which I will post in a separate how to thread (should that go anywhere in specific?) so if people need direction on this kind of need they have something to actually follow instead of piecing together several docs like I ended up doing (with help here of course)

Maybe a blog (see MyLQ in the right hand column)
