If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Running postfix Cyrus-SASL using the pam module to go to mysql.
I am logging in as joeblow@domain.com, but for some reason the domain is getting stripped off? It
auth.log
do_auth : auth failure: [user=joeblow] [service=smtp] [realm=idquickview.com] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]
mysql.log
SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = 'joeblow'
It should be doing:
SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = 'joeblow@domain.com'
Any ideas?

Hello,
i have exactly the same problem. Did you find a solution?
Just for future users…
try adding the parameter "-r" to "/etc/default/saslauthd" and restart saslauth.
/etc/default/saslauthd:
OPTIONS="-r -c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd"
then:
/etc/init.d/saslauthd restart
regards!
a.
