	Alright. Thanks for this info.

	I think that part of my problems lay in using Webmin to configuring
the service. It's a good shortcut for getting something up and running
quickly, but it doesn't provide all the options or the best explainations.

	Right now, for testing and setup, I have it configured for plain
text passwords over the SSL connection. I'm working one step at a time
before I get it over to the live server.

I'll have to run testsaslsuthd to confirm that. I'll need to read into how
to test that with Postfix.
