[GRLUG] Email testing w/sasl

We inherited a system some years ago, and it is setup as follows:

 * Local users send email to the internal server
 * Emails are copied to am archive
 * then Relayed to an external, public server with sasl authenciation

There are 20+ users operating correctly, but one user cannot authenticate
(his [sasl] password to the external is valid).

Using testsasld does show that user does not authenticate, .. ***BUT*** no
OTHER users authenticate with testsasld either! Possible clue - there are
log messages that PAM authentication is failing for that one user?

Does anyone have a thought on proper usage of testsasld for testing (or a
different way to test)? I am unsure how/why PAM is involved at all.

	Thanks!
