smtp_sasl_password_maps

[D. Walsh]

Can someone clue me in and tell me if this is valid, I've been
reading the docs but I'm not understanding it and don't think I got
it right (it doesn't work).

smtp_sasl_password_maps = unix:password.byname
mysql:password.byname hash:passwd.byname

If this is wrong I'm obviously misunderstanding something so if you
could point out my flaw in thinking I'd appreciate it.

It's probably right under my nose and I'm just too blind to see it so
be gentle.

What the hell was I thinking???

I read that back in a previous chapter/paragraph.

parameter_maps = database-type:/path/to/map_of_database-type
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/path/to/static_map
smtp_sasl_password_maps = mysql:/path/to/query.conf
smtp_sasl_password_maps = ldap:/path/to/query.conf
...

OK I'll buy this but can these entries be combined into a single line
(comma separated) or does it matter?

smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/user_pass, mysql:/etc/
postfix/user_pass.conf, unix:password.byname

smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/user_pass, mysql:/etc/
postfix/user_pass.conf, unix:password.byname

either:

smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/user_pass, mysql:/etc/postfix/user_pass.conf

or:

smtp_sasl_password_maps =
hash:/etc/postfix/user_pass,
mysql:/etc/postfix/user_pass.conf

or without comma:

smtp_sasl_password_maps =
hash:/etc/postfix/user_pass
mysql:/etc/postfix/user_pass.conf


But:

smtp_sasl_password_maps = unix:password.byname

will not work because unix:password.byname lacks the required fields to
provide required information:

hostname user:pass
