Hi,

after a quick look on the website you mentioned, i saw no point where 
'saslauthd' gets installed.

my first dumb question: did you install it?
if you have installed security/cyrus-sasl2-saslauthd, you should have 
'/usr/local/sbin/testsaslauthd'. please use this tool to check for the 
correct operation of 'saslauthd'.

the website also mentioned that you have to set 'sasl_saslauthd_flags="-a 
sasldb"' in /etc/rc.conf, but if you want to authenticate against system 
accounts, this setting is completely wrong. you should either set 
'sasl_saslauthd_flags="-a pam"' (this is the default) or 
'sasl_saslauthd_flags="-a getpwent"' to authenticate against system 
accounts. i never tried the pam and getpwent variants as i use ldap to 
authenticate.

hope this helps a litlle bit.

regards
Joerg
