I ran the saslpasswd2 -c <username> command to no avail... im still 
receiving the blasted password prompt.

I know that sasl uses sasldb2 by default, but i swear i changed that to pam.

I really hate to say it, but have you consulted any of the fine 
documentation that comes with Postfix, Cyrus-SASL, or even the 
gentoo-wiki.com HOWTOs?  With all of the documentation available on the 
web, I'm not certain the gentoo-security mailing list is the proper 
place to be debugging your postfix/sasl problems.

Well dave, actually yes.  I have read every Artcile on the wiki remotely 
close to SASL, even the ones using mysql for authentication/databasing 
etc...  Ive read the ENTIRE postfix handbook, just for giggles, and Ive gone 
over any thread on the forum remotely related to this issue in the past 12 
months...


So...

With that said, what would be the approprate mailing list to debug this 
problem DAVE?

I would suggest gentoo-users.  Since this is not a security related 
question with regard to gentoo, the gentoo-security list is obviously 
not the proper place to post a topic like this.
