Purely my own opinion/experience: Have you ever looked at the code for Cyrus's SASL and SASL2? It's an atrocity. I'll happily use dovecot once some additional features and implementation issues are dealt with (I took notes when attempting to switch us over from qpopper + POP-before-SMTP to dovecot, so if you want details I can dig up my notes), but never will I use Cyrus's SASL stuff. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
