This may be related to 244568, 138931.  The details don't appear to be
the same, but the underlying cause could in fact be the same.  I'm
attempting to setup an 8.04 server install with Postfix, mysql, and
postfixadmin.  I'm using courier for imap and pop services, but that's
all working fine.

root at vmail:~# lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release:        8.04

Postfix 2.5.1-2ubuntu1
libsasl2-modules-sql 2.1.22.dfsg1-18ubuntu2

To summarize, it appears that saslauthd is not returning/using the
correct encryption methods when called via the sql interface.  I was
able to setup the exact same configuration on a 7.10 server in a few
hours with no problem.  During my attempts I did find one post which
seems to indicate that an upgrade from a working 7.10 system to 8.04
also broke the installation, so while I'm afraid I can't narrow the
problem more completely I can provide whatever configuration details you
need for the working (7.10) system and a failing (8.04) system for
analysis.  So far during my search for an alternative to this issue I've
found lot's a folks asking the same question, a few who've bailed and
gone back to 7.10, and no one who can definitively say they have it
working.  This certainly appears to be a regression failure since it
works in older releases.  Please contact me if you need additional
information, configurations, etc.
