Next, we update the dpkg "state" of
/var/spool/portfix/var/run/saslauthd. The saslauthd init script uses
this setting to create the missing directory with the appropriate
permissions and ownership:
dpkg-statoverride --force --update --add root sasl 755
/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd

I got this response:

An override for "/var/spool/portfix/var/run/saslauthd" already exists,
but --force specified so lets ignore it.
failed to chown /var/spool/portfix/var/run/saslauthd: Operation not
permitted
failed to chmod /var/spool/portfix/var/run/saslauthd: Operation not
permitted
dpkg-statoverride: cannot open new statoverride file: Permission denied.

This was something I couldnt do before. I did a /etc/init.d/saslauthd
stop but: "Stopping SASL Authentication Deamon: (failed)"

I have finally got everything installed but Im testing for connection
issues and I have some.
Im looking in the syslog file and it states:

Oct 25 15:50:45 wadesmart postfix[18333]: couldn't find canonical DNS
name of pop.mail.yahoo.com (pop.yahoo.com)
Oct 25 15:50:45 wadesmart postfix[18333]: Unknown login or
authentication error on wadesmart at gmail.com@gmail-pop.l.google.com
Oct 25 15:50:45 wadesmart postfix[18333]: socket error while fetching
from wadesmart at gmail.com@pop.gmail.com

and apparently there are some more problems with the ssl:

Oct 25 15:50:45 wadesmart postfix/smtpd[17995]: warning: cannot get
private key from file /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key
Oct 25 15:50:45 wadesmart postfix/smtpd[17995]: warning: TLS library
problem: 17995:error:0906406D:PEM routines:PEM_def_callback: problems
getting password: pem_lib.c:105:

and it goes on from there.
