Hi, |

I have postfix, cyrus, web-cyradm, mysql, lmtp installation. There are |
| 4 |
few problems with that howto, mainly in authentication mechanism part. |
| 5 |
First of all you should consult Cyrus SASL library documentation and |
| 6 |
find out what options may fulfill your requirements. I use mysql |
| 7 |
database as my authentication back-end and sasl mysql plugin, I've |
| 8 |
droped PAM because of some problems, I don't remember exactly, it was |
| 9 |
mainly SASL library incompabilities with other subsystems. I've also |
| 10 |
used SASL patch from here |
| 11 |
(http://frost.ath.cx/software/cyrus-sasl-patches/). It allows crypted |
| 12 |
passwords in a database. Other things work very well and it was easy to |
| 13 |
setup that kind of a mail system with gentoo. Use portage overlay |
| 14 |
ebuilds to patch cyrus-sasl sources. The last thing - you don't need |
| 15 |
saslauthd daemon, again, I don't remember the details, but SASL sql |
| 16 |
plugin works standalone. Post here, I may take a closer look at my setup |
| 17 |
if you have any more questions. |
