[Dovecot] Which comes first after postfix, dovecot or cyrus-sasl?

[Mike]

Wow, shweet.
Thanks Curtis, I think I'll be digging into dovecot's sasl features
and giving it a try.
Rather than meander around in the how-to's, I should've asked my
question alot earlier in the process.
Definitely appreciate the help.
