Let me try again. Your postfix+cyrus-sasl setup is storing passwords, in *some* checkable form, *somewhere*. Since this is cyrus-sasl, there are many possible places it could store them. You mention mysql, so maybe it's storing them there? Let's assume that. So, that leaves the *format* that they are stored in. *If* cyrus-sasl is storing them in crypt's MD5 format, then this would explain the problem: support for the MD5 format was removed from OpenBSD in 5.6. That's the most obvious explanation (to me) for why your setup stopped working, but we really don't have much to go on. But hey, they're your passwords, in a black box that you...don't know how to look into? Maybe you should familiarize yourself with how they're stored? I suggest that you read the cyrus-sasl docs and webpages and see what's in your config file and from that figure out what's going on. Philip Guenther
