I changed the smtpd to smtp, stoppedd postfix, ran postmap sasl_passwd,
then started postfix, and then sent another test email, and got a
different error message in /var/log/mail/info:

I suspect that maybe my postfix install doesn't support sasl. I have
cyrus-sasl installed, and the process is running. Any ideas?
