As requested in the mailing list welcome message, send "postconf
-n" output, instead of manually pasting main.cf fragments.

Without "postconf -n" you don't know if you are editing the wrong
main.cf file, or the wrong lines in the file, because those lines
are followed by other definitions later in the file.

The Postfix SMTP client and server don't call any SASL code unless
SASL is enabled in main.cf.
