Thanks a lot Alexander, it worked.
I hope I don't bug you much with all my questions but I have some  
more :)
Why is there two commands for setting up users: saslpasswd and  
saslpasswd2 with sasldb and sasldb2? Is this a secure method of  
authentication? Is there a benefit to using other methods instead of  
sasldb?
Thanks a lot for all your help
