+SMTP servers need to decide whether an SMTP client is authorized to send mail
+to remote destinations, or only to destinations that the server itself is
+responsible for. Usually, SMTP servers accept mail to remote destinations when
+the client's IP address is in the "same network" as the server's IP address.
+
+SMTP clients outside the SMTP server's network need a different way to get
+"same network" privileges. To address this need, Postfix supports SASL
+authentication (RFC 4954, formerly RFC 2554). With this a remote SMTP client
+can authenticate to the Postfix SMTP server, and the Postfix SMTP client can
+authenticate to a remote SMTP server. Once a client is authenticated, a server
+can give it "same network" privileges.
+
+Postfix does not implement SASL itself, but instead uses existing
+implementations as building blocks. This means that some SASL-related
+configuration files will belong to Postfix, while other configuration files
+belong to the specific SASL implementation that Postfix will use. This document
+covers both the Postfix and non-Postfix configuration.
+
+NOTE: People who go to the trouble of installing Postfix may have the
+expectation that Postfix is more secure than some other mailers. The Cyrus SASL
+library contains a lot of code. With this, Postfix becomes as secure as other
+mail systems that use the Cyrus SASL library. Dovecot provides an alternative
+that may be worth considering.

+
+As mentioned earlier, SASL is implemented separately from Postfix. For this
+reason, configuring SASL authentication in the Postfix SMTP server involves two
+different steps:
+
+  * Configuring the SASL implementation to offer a list of mechanisms that are
+    suitable for SASL authentication and, depending on the SASL implementation
+    used, configuring authentication backends that verify the remote SMTP
+    client's authentication data against the system password file or some other
+    database.
+
+  * Configuring the Postfix SMTP server to enable SASL authentication, and to
+    authorize clients to relay mail or to control what envelope sender
+    addresses the client may use.
+
+Successful authentication in the Postfix SMTP server requires a functional SASL
+framework. Configuring SASL should therefore always be the first step, before
+configuring Postfix.

+Currently the Postfix SMTP server supports the Cyrus SASL and Dovecot SASL
+implementations.

+
+    Current Postfix versions have a plug-in architecture that can support
+    multiple SASL implementations. Before Postfix version 2.3, Postfix had
+    support only for Cyrus SASL.
+
+To find out what SASL implementations are compiled into Postfix, use the
+following commands:
+
+    % ppoossttccoonnff --aa (SASL support in the SMTP server)
+    % ppoossttccoonnff --AA (SASL support in the SMTP+LMTP client)
+
+These commands are available only with Postfix version 2.3 and later.

+
+Dovecot is a POP/IMAP server that has its own configuration to authenticate
+POP/IMAP clients. When the Postfix SMTP server uses Dovecot SASL, it reuses
+parts of this configuration. Consult the Dovecot documentation for how to
+configure and operate the Dovecot authentication server.
+

+
+Communication between the Postfix SMTP server and Dovecot SASL happens over a
+UNIX-domain socket or over a TCP socket. We will be using a UNIX-domain socket
+for better privacy.
+
+The following fragment for Dovecot version 2 assumes that the Postfix queue is
+under /var/spool/postfix/.
+
+     1 conf.d/10-master.conf:
+     2     service auth {

+     4       unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
+     5         mode = 0660
+     6         # Assuming the default Postfix user and group

+    11     }
+    12
+    13 conf.d/10-auth.conf
+    14     auth_mechanisms = plain login
+
+Line 4 places the Dovecot SASL socket in /var/spool/postfix/private/auth, lines
+5-8 limit read+write permissions to user and group postfix only, and line 14
+provides plain and login as mechanisms for the Postfix SMTP server.

+
+The Cyrus SASL framework supports a wide variety of applications (POP, IMAP,
+SMTP, etc.). Different applications may require different configurations. As a
+consequence each application may have its own configuration file.
+
+The first step configuring Cyrus SASL is to determine name and location of a
+configuration file that describes how the Postfix SMTP server will use the SASL
+framework.
+
+CCyyrruuss SSAASSLL ccoonnffiigguurraattiioonn ffiillee nnaammee
+
+The name of the configuration file (default: smtpd.conf) is configurable. It is
+a concatenation from a value that the Postfix SMTP server sends to the Cyrus
+SASL library, and the suffix .conf, added by Cyrus SASL.
+
+The value sent by Postfix is the name of the server component that will use
+Cyrus SASL. It defaults to smtpd and is configured with one of the following
+variables:
+
+    /etc/postfix/main.cf:
+        # Postfix 2.3 and later
+        smtpd_sasl_path = smtpd
+
+        # Postfix < 2.3
+        smtpd_sasl_application_name = smtpd
+
+CCyyrruuss SSAASSLL ccoonnffiigguurraattiioonn ffiillee llooccaattiioonn
+
+The location where Cyrus SASL searches for the named file depends on the Cyrus
+SASL version and the OS/distribution used.
+
+You can read more about the following topics:
+
+  * Cyrus SASL version 2.x searches for the configuration file in /usr/lib/
+    sasl2/.
+
+  * Cyrus SASL version 2.1.22 and newer additionally search in /etc/sasl2/.
+
+  * Some Postfix distributions are modified and look for the Cyrus SASL
+    configuration file in /etc/postfix/sasl/, /var/lib/sasl2/ etc. See the
+    distribution-specific documentation to determine the expected location.
+
+    NNoottee
+
+    Cyrus SASL searches /usr/lib/sasl2/ first. If it finds the specified
+    configuration file there, it will not examine other locations.

+
+As the Postfix SMTP server is linked with the Cyrus SASL library libsasl,
+communication between Postfix and Cyrus SASL takes place by calling functions
+in the SASL library.
+
+The SASL library may use an external password verification service, or an
+internal plugin to connect to authentication backends and verify the SMTP
+client's authentication data against the system password file or other
+databases.

+
+Communication between the Postfix SMTP server (read: Cyrus SASL's libsasl) and
+the saslauthd server takes place over a UNIX-domain socket.
+
+saslauthd usually establishes the UNIX domain socket in /var/run/saslauthd/ and
+waits for authentication requests. The Postfix SMTP server must have
+read+execute permission to this directory or authentication attempts will fail.
+
+    IImmppoorrttaanntt
+
+    Some distributions require the user postfix to be member of a special group
+    e.g. sasl, otherwise it will not be able to access the saslauthd socket
+    directory.
+
+The following example configures the Cyrus SASL library to contact saslauthd as
+its password verification service:
+
+    /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf:
+        pwcheck_method: saslauthd
+        mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
+
+    IImmppoorrttaanntt
+
+    Do not specify any other mechanisms in mech_list than PLAIN or LOGIN when
+    using saslauthd! It can only handle these two mechanisms, and
+    authentication will fail if clients are allowed to choose other mechanisms.
+
+    IImmppoorrttaanntt
+
+    Plaintext mechanisms (PLAIN, LOGIN) send credentials unencrypted. This
+    information should be protected by an additional security layer such as a
+    TLS-encrypted SMTP session (see: TLS_README).
+
+Additionally the saslauthd server itself must be configured. It must be told
+which authentication backend to turn to for password verification. The backend
+is selected with a saslauthd command-line option and will be shown in the
+following examples.
+
+    NNoottee
+
+    Some distributions use a configuration file to provide saslauthd command
+    line options to set e.g. the authentication backend. Typical locations are
+    /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd or /etc/default/saslauthd.
+
+UUssiinngg ssaassllaauutthhdd wwiitthh //eettcc//sshhaaddooww
+
+Access to the /etc/shadow system password file requires root privileges. The
+Postfix SMTP server (and in consequence libsasl linked to the server) runs with
+the least privilege possible. Direct access to /etc/shadow would not be
+possible without breaking the Postfix security architecture.
+
+The saslauthd socket builds a safe bridge. Postfix, running as limited user
+postfix, can access the UNIX-domain socket that saslauthd receives commands on;
+saslauthd, running as privileged user root, has the privileges required to
+access the shadow file.
+
+The saslauthd server verifies passwords against the authentication backend /
+etc/shadow if started like this:
+
+    % ssaassllaauutthhdd --aa sshhaaddooww
+
+See section "Testing saslauthd authentication" for test instructions.
+
+UUssiinngg ssaassllaauutthhdd wwiitthh PPAAMM
+
+Cyrus SASL can use the PAM framework to authenticate credentials. saslauthd
+uses the PAM framework when started like this:
+
+    % ssaassllaauutthhdd --aa ppaamm
+
+    NNoottee
+
+    PAM configuration for the Postfix SMTP server is usually given in /etc/
+    pam.d/smtp and is beyond the scope of this document.

+See section "Testing saslauthd authentication" for test instructions.
+
+UUssiinngg ssaassllaauutthhdd wwiitthh aann IIMMAAPP sseerrvveerr
+
+saslauthd can verify the SMTP client credentials by using them to log into an
+IMAP server. If the login succeeds, SASL authentication also succeeds.
+saslauthd contacts an IMAP server when started like this:
+
+    % ssaassllaauutthhdd --aa rriimmaapp --OO iimmaapp..eexxaammppllee..ccoomm
+
+    NNoottee
+
+    The option "-O imap.example.com" specifies the IMAP server saslauthd should
+    contact when it verifies credentials.
+
+    IImmppoorrttaanntt
+
+    saslauthd sends IMAP login information unencrypted. Any IMAP session
+    leaving the local host should be protected by an additional security layer
+    such as an SSL tunnel.
+
+See section "Testing saslauthd authentication" for test instructions.
+
+TTeessttiinngg ssaassllaauutthhdd aauutthheennttiiccaattiioonn
+
+Cyrus SASL provides the testsaslauthd utility to test saslauthd authentication.
+The username and password are given as command line arguments. The example
+shows the response when authentication is successful:
+
+    % tteessttssaassllaauutthhdd --uu uusseerrnnaammee --pp ppaasssswwoorrdd
+    0: OK "Success."
+
+    NNoottee
+
+    Sometimes the testsaslauthd program is not distributed with a the Cyrus
+    SASL main package. In that case, it may be distributed with -devel, -dev or
+    -debug packages.
+
+Specify an additional "-s smtp" if saslauthd was configured to contact the PAM
+authentication framework, and specify an additional "-f //ppaatthh//ttoo//ssoocckkeettddiirr//mmuuxx"
+if saslauthd establishes the UNIX-domain socket in a non-default location.

+    If you must store encrypted passwords, you cannot use the ldapdb auxprop
+    plugin. Instead, you can use "saslauthd -a ldap" to query the LDAP database
+    directly, with appropriate configuration in saslauthd.conf, as described
+    here. You will not be able to use any of the methods that require access to
+    plaintext passwords, such as the shared-secret methods CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-
+    MD5.
+
+The ldapdb plugin implements proxy authorization. This means that the ldapdb
+plugin uses its own username and password to authenticate with the LDAP server,
+before it asks the LDAP server for the remote SMTP client's password. The LDAP
+server then decides if the ldapdb plugin is authorized to read the remote SMTP
+client's password.
+
+In a nutshell: Configuring ldapdb means authentication and authorization must
+be configured twice - once in the Postfix SMTP server to authenticate and
+authorize the remote SMTP client, and once in the LDAP server to authenticate
+and authorize the ldapdb plugin.
+
+This example configures libsasl to use the ldapdb plugin and the plugin to
+connect to an LDAP server:
+
+    /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf:
+        pwcheck_method: auxprop
+        auxprop_plugin: ldapdb
+        mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN NTLM CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5
+        ldapdb_uri: ldap://localhost
+        ldapdb_id: proxyuser
+        ldapdb_pw: password
+        ldapdb_mech: DIGEST-MD5
+
+    IImmppoorrttaanntt
+
+    Set appropriate permissions if smtpd.conf contains a password. The file
+    should be readable by the postfix user.
+
+    NNoottee
+
+    The shared-secret mechanisms (CRAM-MD5, etc.) require that the SASL client
+    passwords are stored as plaintext.
+
+The following is a summary of applicable smtpd.conf file entries:
+
+    auxprop_plugin
+        Specify ldapdb to enable the plugin.
+
+    ldapdb_uri
+        Specify either ldapi:// for to connect over a UNIX-domain socket, ldap:
+        // for an unencrypted TCP connection or ldaps:// for an encrypted TCP
+        connection.
+
+    ldapdb_id
+        The login name to authenticate the ldapdb plugin to the LDAP server
+        (proxy authorization).
+
+    ldapdb_pw
+        The password (in plaintext) to authenticate the ldapdb plugin to the
+        LDAP server (proxy authorization).
+
+    ldapdb_mech
+        The mechanism to authenticate the ldapdb plugin to the LDAP server.
+
+            NNoottee
+
+            Specify a mechanism here that is supported by the LDAP server.
+
+    ldapdb_rc (optional)
+        The path to a file containing individual configuration options for the
+        ldapdb LDAP client (libldap). This allows to specify a TLS client
+        certificate which in turn can be used to use the SASL EXTERNAL
+        mechanism.
+
+            NNoottee
+
+            This mechanism supports authentication over an encrypted transport
+            layer, which is recommended if the plugin must connect to an
+            OpenLDAP server on a remote machine.
+
+    ldapdb_starttls (optional)
+        The TLS policy for connecting to the LDAP server. Specify either try or
+        demand. If the option is try the plugin will attempt to establish a
+        TLS-encrypted connection with the LDAP server, and will fallback to an
+        unencrypted connection if TLS fails. If the policy is demand and a TLS-
+        encrypted connection cannot be established, the connection fails
+        immediately.
+
+When the ldapdb plugin connects to the OpenLDAP server and successfully
+authenticates, the OpenLDAP server decides if the plugin user is authorized to
+read SASL account information.
+
+The following configuration gives an example of authorization configuration in
+the OpenLDAP slapd server:
+
+    /etc/openldap/slapd.conf:
+        authz-regexp
+        uid=(.*),cn=.*,cn=auth
+        ldap:///dc=example,dc=com??sub?cn=$1
+        authz-policy to
+
+Here, the authz-regexp option serves for authentication of the ldapdb user. It
+maps its login name to a DN in the LDAP directory tree where slapd can look up
+the SASL account information. The authz-policy options defines the
+authentication policy. In this case it grants authentication privileges "to"
+the ldapdb plugin.
+
+The last configuration step is to tell the OpenLDAP slapd server where ldapdb
+may search for usernames matching the one given by the mail client. The example
+below adds an additional attribute ldapdb user object (here: authzTo because
+the authz-policy is "to") and configures the scope where the login name
+"proxyuser" may search:
+
+    dn: cn=proxyuser,dc=example,dc=com
+    changetype: modify
+    add: authzTo
+    authzTo: dn.regex:uniqueIdentifier=(.*),ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
+
+Use the ldapmodify or ldapadd command to add the above attribute.

+Regardless of the SASL implementation type, enabling SMTP authentication in the

+
+However not all clients recognize the AUTH capability as defined by the SASL
+authentication RFC. Some historical implementations expect the server to send
+an "=" as separator between the AUTH verb and the list of mechanisms that

+By default an SMTP client may specify any envelope sender address in the MAIL

+SMTP client.
+
+This changes the moment an SMTP client uses SASL authentication. Now, the
+Postfix SMTP server knows who the sender is. Given a table of envelope sender
+addresses and SASL login names, the Postfix SMTP server can decide if the SASL
+authenticated client is allowed to use a particular envelope sender address:

+
+With this, the reject_sender_login_mismatch restriction above will reject the

+This section shows a typical scenario where the Postfix SMTP client sends all
+messages via a mail gateway server that requires SASL authentication.
+
+    TTrroouubbllee ssoollvviinngg ttiippss::
+
+      * If your SASL logins fail with "SASL authentication failure: No worthy
+        mechs found" in the mail logfile, then see the section "Postfix SMTP/
+        LMTP client policy - SASL mechanism pprrooppeerrttiieess".
+
+      * For a solution to a more obscure class of SASL authentication failures,
+        see "Postfix SMTP/LMTP client policy - SASL mechanism nnaammeess".
+
+To make the example more readable we introduce it in two parts. The first part
+takes care of the basic configuration, while the second part sets up the
+username/password information.
+
+    /etc/postfix/main.cf:
+        smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
+        smtp_tls_security_level = encrypt
+        smtp_sasl_tls_security_options = noanonymous
+        relayhost = [mail.isp.example]
+        # Alternative form:
+        # relayhost = [mail.isp.example]:submission
+        smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
+
+  * The smtp_sasl_auth_enable setting enables client-side authentication. We
+    will configure the client's username and password information in the second
+    part of the example.
+
+  * The smtp_tls_security_level setting ensures that the connection to the
+    remote smtp server will be encrypted, and smtp_sasl_tls_security_options
+    removes the prohibition on plaintext passwords.
+
+  * The relayhost setting forces the Postfix SMTP to send all remote messages
+    to the specified mail server instead of trying to deliver them directly to
+    their destination.
+
+  * In the relayhost setting, the "[" and "]" prevent the Postfix SMTP client
+    from looking up MX (mail exchanger) records for the enclosed name.
+
+  * The relayhost destination may also specify a non-default TCP port. For
+    example, the alternative form [mail.isp.example]:submission tells Postfix
+    to connect to TCP network port 587, which is reserved for email client
+    applications.
+
+  * The Postfix SMTP client is compatible with SMTP servers that use the non-
+    standard "AUTH=mmeetthhoodd....." syntax in response to the EHLO command; this
+    requires no additional Postfix client configuration.
+
+  * The Postfix SMTP client does not support the obsolete "wrappermode"
+    protocol, which uses TCP port 465 on the SMTP server. See TLS_README for a
+    solution that uses the stunnel command.
+
+  * With the smtp_sasl_password_maps parameter, we configure the Postfix SMTP
+    client to send username and password information to the mail gateway
+    server. As discussed in the next section, the Postfix SMTP client supports
+    multiple ISP accounts. For this reason the username and password are stored
+    in a table that contains one username/password combination for each mail
+    gateway server.
+
+    /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd:
+        # destination                   credentials
+        [mail.isp.example]              username:password
+        # Alternative form:
+        # [mail.isp.example]:submission username:password
+
+    IImmppoorrttaanntt
+
+    Keep the SASL client password file in /etc/postfix, and make the file
+    read+write only for root to protect the username/password combinations
+    against other users. The Postfix SMTP client will still be able to read the
+    SASL client passwords. It opens the file as user root before it drops
+    privileges, and before entering an optional chroot jail.
+
+  * Use the postmap command whenever you change the /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
+    file.
+
+  * If you specify the "[" and "]" in the relayhost destination, then you must
+    use the same form in the smtp_sasl_password_maps file.
+
+  * If you specify a non-default TCP Port (such as ":submission" or ":587") in
+    the relayhost destination, then you must use the same form in the
+    smtp_sasl_password_maps file.

+Postfix supports different ISP accounts for different sender addresses (version
+2.3 and later). This can be useful when one person uses the same machine for
+work and for personal use, or when people with different ISP accounts share the
+same Postfix server.
+
+To make this possible, Postfix supports per-sender SASL passwords and per-
+sender relay hosts. In the example below, the Postfix SMTP client will search
+the SASL password file by sender address before it searches that same file by
+destination. Likewise, the Postfix trivial-rewrite(8) daemon will search the
+per-sender relayhost file, and use the default relayhost setting only as a
+final resort.
+
+    /etc/postfix/main.cf:
+        smtp_sender_dependent_authentication = yes
+        sender_dependent_relayhost_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_relay
+        smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
+        smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
+        relayhost = [mail.isp.example]
+        # Alternative form:
+        # relayhost = [mail.isp.example]:submission
+
+    /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd:
+        # Per-sender authentication; see also /etc/postfix/sender_relay.
+        user1@example.com               username1:password1
+        user2@example.net               username2:password2
+        # Login information for the default relayhost.
+        [mail.isp.example]              username:password
+        # Alternative form:
+        # [mail.isp.example]:submission username:password
+
+    /etc/postfix/sender_relay:
+        # Per-sender provider; see also /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd.
+        user1@example.com               [mail.example.com]:submission
+        user2@example.net               [mail.example.net]
+
+  * If you are creative, then you can try to combine the two tables into one
+    single MySQL database, and configure different Postfix queries to extract
+    the appropriate information.
+
+  * Specify dbm instead of hash if your system uses dbm files instead of db
+    files. To find out what lookup tables Postfix supports, use the command
+    "postconf -m".
+
+  * Execute the command "postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd" whenever you change
+    the sasl_passwd table.
+
+  * Execute the command "postmap /etc/postfix/sender_relay" whenever you change
+    the sender_relay table.

+The default policy is stricter than that of the Postfix SMTP server - plaintext
+mechanisms are not allowed (nor is any anonymous mechanism):
+
+    /etc/postfix/main.cf:
+        smtp_sasl_security_options = noplaintext, noanonymous
+
+This default policy, which allows no plaintext passwords, leads to
+authentication failures if the remote server only offers plaintext
+authentication mechanisms (the SMTP server announces "AUTH PLAIN LOGIN"). In
+such cases the SMTP client will log the following error message:
+
+    SASL authentication failure: No worthy mechs found
+
+    NNoottee
+
+    This same error message will also be logged when the libplain.so or
+    liblogin.so modules are not installed in the /usr/lib/sasl2 directory.
+
+The insecure approach is to lower the security standards and permit plaintext
+authentication mechanisms:
+
+    /etc/postfix/main.cf:
+        smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
+
+The more secure approach is to protect the plaintext username and password with
+TLS session encryption. To find out if the remote SMTP server supports TLS,
+connect to the server and see if it announces STARTTLS support as shown in the
+example. Information sent by the client (that is, you) is shown in bboolldd font.

+
+The smtp_sasl_tls_security_options parameter controls Postfix SASL mechanism
+policy during a TLS-encrypted SMTP session. The default is to copy the settings
+from the unencrypted session:
+
+    /etc/postfix/main.cf:
+        smtp_sasl_tls_security_options = $smtp_sasl_security_options
+
+A more sophisticated policy allows plaintext mechanisms, but only over a TLS-
+encrypted connection:
+
+    /etc/postfix/main.cf:
+        smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous, noplaintext
+        smtp_sasl_tls_security_options = noanonymous

+
+Given the SASL security options of the previous section, the Cyrus SASL library
+will choose the most secure authentication mechanism that both the SMTP client
+and server implement. Unfortunately, that authentication mechanism may fail
+because the client or server is not configured to use that mechanism.
+
+To prevent this, the Postfix SMTP client can filter the names of the
+authentication mechanisms from the remote SMTP server. Used correctly, the
+filter hides unwanted mechanisms from the Cyrus SASL library, forcing the
+library to choose from the mechanisms the Postfix SMTP client filter passes
+through.
+
+The following example filters out everything but the mechanisms PLAIN and
+LOGIN:
+
+    /etc/postfix/main.cf:
+        smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = plain, login
+
+    NNoottee
+
+    If the remote server does not offer any of the mechanisms on the filter
+    list, authentication will fail.
+
+We close this section with an example that passes every mechanism except for
+GSSAPI and LOGIN:
+
+    /etc/postfix/main.cf:
+        smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = !gssapi, !login, static:all

+As mentioned elsewhere, Postfix supports two SASL implementations: Cyrus SASL
+(SMTP client and server) and Dovecot SASL (SMTP server only). Both
+implementations can be built into Postfix simultaneously.

+
+These instructions assume that you build Postfix from source code as described
+in the INSTALL document. Some modification may be required if you build Postfix
+from a vendor-specific source package.
+
+Support for the Dovecot version 1 SASL protocol is available in Postfix 2.3 and
+later. At the time of writing, only server-side SASL support is available, so
+you can't use it to authenticate the Postfix SMTP client to your network
+provider's server.
+
+Dovecot uses its own daemon process for authentication. This keeps the Postfix
+build process simple, because there is no need to link extra libraries into
+Postfix.
+
+To generate the necessary Makefiles, execute the following in the Postfix top-
+level directory:
+
+    % mmaakkee ttiiddyy # if you have left-over files from a previous build
+    % mmaakkee mmaakkeeffiilleess CCCCAARRGGSS==''--DDUUSSEE__SSAASSLL__AAUUTTHH \\

+
+After this, proceed with "make" as described in the INSTALL document.
+
+NNoottee
+
+  * The -DDEF_SERVER_SASL_TYPE=\"dovecot\" is not necessary; it just makes
+    Postfix configuration a little more convenient because you don't have to
+    specify the SASL plug-in type in the Postfix main.cf file (but this may
+    cause surprises when you switch to a later Postfix version that is built
+    with the default SASL type of sasl).
+
+  * If you also want support for LDAP or TLS (or for Cyrus SASL), you need to
+    merge their CCARGS and AUXLIBS options into the above command line; see the
+    LDAP_README and TLS_README for details.

+
+Postfix supports Cyrus SASL version 1.x, but you shouldn't use it unless you
+are forced to. The makers of Cyrus SASL write:
+
+    This library is being deprecated and applications should transition to
+    using the SASLv2 library (source: Project Cyrus: Downloads).
+
+If you still need to set it up, here's a quick rundown:
+
+Read the regular section on SMTP server configurations for the Cyrus SASL
+framework. The differences are:
+
+  * Cyrus SASL version 1.5.x searches for configuration (smtpd.conf) in /usr/
+    lib/sasl/ only. You must place the configuration in that directory. Some
+    systems may have modified Cyrus SASL and put the files into e.g. /var/lib/
+    sasl/.
+
+  * Use the saslpasswd command instead of saslpasswd2 to create users in
+    sasldb.
+
+  * Use the sasldblistusers command instead of sasldblistusers2 to find users
+    in sasldb.
+
+  * In the smtpd.conf file you can't use mech_list to limit the range of
+    mechanisms offered. Instead, remove their libraries from /usr/lib/sasl/
+    (and remember remove those files again when a system update re-installs new
+    versions).
+
+CCrreeddiittss
+
+  * Postfix SASL support was originally implemented by Till Franke of SuSE
+    Rhein/Main AG.
+  * Wietse trimmed down the code to only the bare necessities.
+  * Support for Cyrus SASL version 2 was contributed by Jason Hoos.
+  * Liviu Daia added smtpd_sasl_application_name, separated
+    reject_sender_login_mismatch into
+    reject_authenticated_sender_login_mismatch and
+    reject_unauthenticated_sender_login_mismatch, and revised the docs.
+  * Wietse made another iteration through the code to add plug-in support for
+    multiple SASL implementations, and for reasons that have been lost, also
+    changed smtpd_sasl_application_name into smtpd_sasl_path.
+  * The Dovecot SMTP server-only plug-in was originally implemented by Timo
+    Sirainen of Procontrol, Finland.
+  * Patrick Ben Koetter revised this document for Postfix 2.4 and made much
+    needed updates.
+  * Patrick Ben Koetter revised this document again for Postfix 2.7 and made
