Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot authentication for PostFix, anyone?
Hi, I am using Dovecot and Postfix and they are playing very nice together. Actually I had founded Cyrus-SASL poorly documented and little confusing to Linux newbie (me) so I was happy when I was able to get rid of it. The page you are talking about is up to date it is very easy to get it working. I do not know about any other way how to authenticate through Dovecot and I think there is no need to have it.

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot authentication for PostFix, anyone?
In principle, I like the idea of doing without Cyrus, since I have to run an IMAP server anyway and had already chosen Dovecot. Cyrus-sasl != cyrus-imap... It is a completely separate, standalone package... The question is if that page is up to date and if you could share comments or, if they exist, safer/more efficient ways to use Dovecot as authentication server for PostFix, as well as any other relevant tips and tricks http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostfixAndDovecotSASL -- Best regards, Charles
