I think I am very close to having this all work, I have postfix working with ldap properly but when a user tries to authenticate via a mail client it gets authentication failure, while this is going on the logs are showing connections to the slapd daemon so it must be close to working at the bottom of this post is the output from /var/log/messages when someone tries to connect.. below is my imapd.conf file which i believe is right this is cyrus imap 2.0.16 with sasl 1.5.27 and i have the sasl-ldap patch from surf.org. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks!
