If I specify localhost as the host name for both imapd and sendmail sql plugin
authentication like this:
eg /etc/imapd.conf contains:
sasl_sql_hostnames:localhost:3306 changing localhost to mail-host here
and /etc/sasl2/Sendmail.conf contains:
sql_hostnames:localhost:3306 and
IIRC MySQL tries to use an UNIX socket instead of TCP for connecting to
the server when it sees the localhost string. If e.g. sendmail runs
chrooted, then it won't see the MySQL server's socket, therefore it
won't be able to connect.

Hi,
I'm running Cyrus imapd 2.3.x since quite some time for a group of users.
My setup is LDAP based using saslauthd to pam_ldap currently and works just
fine. But now I want to allow access to the mailboxes using the email
address as an alternative to the system username.
I have no real idea
