It's clear that SASL could solve all of our problems. After
stepping through and (apparently) compiling (cyrus) SASL support into
Postfix we continue to get this error msg. in the maillog (Redhat 7.1).

                        fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms

                Here are more details

                Any assistance would be appreciated.

                Aragorn!
