It's true that mail functionality is not broken, but my point is that you're
not likely to break said mail functionality by playing with saslauthd.
Theoretically (aka irrelevantly), it's the function of sending mail from
another host, authenticating via saslauthd, that is broken. I can only
assume from the context that you only have the one user sending mail from
another host.

If that is the case, you may want to consider finding another way to
authenticate that host.

If you would like us to help with the remaining issue, it would be helpful
to know what changes were made, and what effect (if any) those changes had
on the previously reported symptoms.
