We not need to move root path of `saslauthd` into `/var/spool/postfix`.

First, we edit `/etc/default/saslauthd` in order to activate saslauthd. Remove # in front of `START=yes`, add the `PWDIR`, `PARAMS`, and `PIDFILE` lines and edit the `OPTIONS` line at the end:

Next, we update the dpkg "state" of `/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd`. The saslauthd init script uses this setting to create the missing directory with the appropriate permissions and ownership:

```bash
sudo dpkg-statoverride --force --update --add root sasl 755 /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd
sudo dpkg-statoverride --force-all --update --add root sasl 755 /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd
```

This may report an error that "--update given" and the "/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd" directory does not exist. You can ignore this because when you start saslauthd next it will be created.
