Postfix & SASL authentication failure

  • 772

I want to enable SASL authentication under Debian Buster. For this I follow these instructions: https://wiki.debian.org/PostfixAndSASL

This all works fine, but after each restart Debian "forgets" the symlink...

ln -s /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd   /run/saslauthd

which leads to an error message.
