Ok, silly DNS issue. That's solved. I now have a working postfix using 
pop3d for a pop access inside and outside the network. My next step is 
to set up sasl authentication for smtp. I am finding several how-to's, 
but they seem to point to the cyrus-sasl2 package which is not a debian 
package I can find.

There are several cyrus packages including a cyrus-pop3d, imapd, and 
some libsasl2 packages. Can anyone point me in the right direction for 
which packages I need to get this started? A nice how-to or anything 
like that?

Thanks

Rick
