K, if I will need consultations ever in the future have my eye on you. <friendly / chuckle / grin> :-) for now. For now just we need to know if we need to flag it as an ubuntus bug. I am the first person reporting it it seems did a search. The AMD64 bug was not relevant as one ubuntu users pointed out. It is possible for you not to have this bug.

Here are my thoughts:

That you have old configuration files that might have not been obsoleted in the upgrade process. They still work the way you left them.

contents of: /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf

pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain login

>> On install of postfix this file never existed:

/etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf

So according to the guide placed the above into the above file.

"Open the /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf file and add the following lines to end of the file:

pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain login
"
