Bug Description

Postfix installation guide available at https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/server/C/postfix.html
doesn't mention adding 'postfix' user to the 'sasl' group, which is necessary.

Please add the following command in the end of "Configuring SASL" section:
sudo adduser postfix sasl

Beside this, the guide worked perfectly well for me. Thank you!

Thanks for the patch Rob, it looks good and validates properly. Nice work!

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Postfix to be able to properly review the content of the patch myself. Could you send a copy of it to the ubuntu-docs mailing list with the word '[Patch]' at the start of the subject, please?

The latest Server Guide recommends using Dovecot SASL, which doesn't require the sasl group.
